This STUNNING Besson bass drum has had a remarkable life since 1938!
Starting out life as a 24/26" bass drum, the owner had it reduced in size by steam bending the shell down to a 22" very early in it's life! You can see where the original lugs were placed (see last photo).
It comes with all original parts, including a Premier floor tom mount which is incredibly rare. Both batter and reso heads are calf skin and in great condition.
This beautiful drum will sit right at home in someone's studio, giving incredible low end, and doubling as a sub-bass when it isn't the main bass drum in the room.
