This time we have the "StarLiner" which is built around a vintage hard shell suitcase which measures approximately 21"w x 18"h x 9" deep.

The interior of the suitcase has been re- lined to help protect whatever additional hardware you store inside.

A 14" x 8", 8 lug shell has been cut into the face of the case, and has been permanently attached to make head changes quick and easy. The shell has been rewrapped in a leopard print Tolex like material.

The head is an Evans EC2 which is in excellent condition.

The exterior of the suitcase shows wear and tear from a long life of use and travel.

The bass pedal mount has been attached permanently to the bottom of the case and features a rubber top to help secure your pedal.

A 3" rubber port has been cut into the resonant side of the suitcase which gives you the option of using a microphone for performances or recording.

Soft fleece or cajon beaters sound better with this style suitcase drum, but experiment with others to get the sound you desire.

All the latches on the case still function properly but there is no key.

Check out the pictures to see the overall condition of this fine suitcase kick drum.

It's cool and you need it!
