Vintage original hand laid fiberglass, Roger north Drum kit. This kit was produced in the 70's. Blonde Knuckle Custom Drum Works has refurbished this kit but did not use any fillers or paint. The kit has all original lugs, mounting hardware and hoops. the original north rack was replaced with Gibraltar system for ease of use. The kit is not blemish free, there are some nicks and scuffs but is a better than most survivor. Kit includes an 8", 10" 12" 14' 16' and 22x24'" kick. Also included are a Gibraltar rack system and Gibraltar mounting hardware. All heads are Evens oil heads in blue color. lightly played by me alone.
A little history: North Drums were invented by then Boston resident and drummer , while he was a member of band , and later bands ,  and The Freak Mountain Ramblers (Portland, Oregon). North created the fiberglass-shelled drums by hand for his own usage in late 1968, and was granted a U.S. , #3603194 on the design in 1971 .

In 1976, North licensed the patent rights to  to manufacture and market the drums in hopes of higher production and distribution volume. Under MTI management, the drum shells were produced first by a fiberglass manufacturer in Long Island, then for a time again by Roger North in his facility in Troutdale, Oregon, and eventually in Italy using an injection-molded polystyrene process.
They stopped selling the drums in the early 1980s and now there is a used market for the drums, and a small though loyal contingent of North Drum players.
