Jimmy Chamberlin's 8pc DW Maple/Mahogany VLT 2009 Liquid Copper-Designed by JC of Smashing Pumpkins

For Sale: Jimmy Chamberlin 's personally designed, owned, and played 8 piece DW Collector's Series Drum Kit with Maple/Mahogany shells. Features Vertical Low Timbre (VLT) technology, no reinforcement hoops, and black nickel hardware .   They are still his, never owned by anyone else.   It is my understanding that Terry Bozzio assisted optimizing shell depths.   The result speaks for itself.

The kit is finished in a stunning Liquid Copper Metal Lacquer.   Jimmy sent a penny to DW for color matching and this kit is the result.   Hardware is all black nickel.   Jimmy is the phenomenal drummer for the Smashing Pumpkins and has been for 25 years.     Someone needs this kit.

For more about Maple/Mahogany VLT construction, please see the graphic included in the auction.

The kit is for sale as a whole and includes the following drums:
-6x8 Rack Tom (8 ply)
-7x10 Rack Tom (9 ply)
-8x13 Rack Tom (9 ply)
-10x14 Rack Tom (9 ply)
-14x14 Floor Tom (with legs / 9 ply)
-16x16 Floor Tom (with legs / 9 ply)
-16x22 kick drums (10 ply) - features black lacquer hoops with a band of liquid copper lacquer down around the center - really neat to look at.
-5.5x14 matching snare (12 ply)

A slidetrack tom holder is installed on the bass drum.   No other tom arms or hardware is included.

Chamberlin enjoyed this kit in his studio for years, and now you have the once in a lifetime opportunity to have a kit in your house that was designed from the inside to the outside by one of the all time great drummers.   Absolutely one of a kind and in immaculate condition.   Grade of 8.5-9.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions before deciding you need these drums!

If you provide me a zip code, I will create a more educated shipping estimate.   Local pickup in Chicago is also possible.

Again, shipping and handling (did I mention how heavy these awesome drums are?) is $500.00.
