Original Description:
This Rare Original Tama 14 X 20 Cordia Artstar Gong Drum was once owned and used on the road, and in the studio by the great Simon Phillips.  I bought this Rare Drum almost 20 years ago from a studio in the UK that Simon used,   Apparently he had them list it on EBay to sell his complete Artstar kit, including this Gong drum.  The kit was listed for a ton of money.  The kit didn't sell after a few listings.  I contacted the seller and he agreed to sell me just ...the gong drum separately from the rest of the kit.  I've owned it ever since.  Simon's original kit came with a satin finish, not like the normal high gloss finish that most Cordia Artstar kits came from Tama.  This gong drum was no different.  I wanted the drum to match my high gloss kit, so I had it buffed and polished to better match my gloss kit.  It came out pretty good, however it's not perfect.  The normal square Artstar badge used on factory kits is not on this drum.  It does have a large TAMA sticker on the inside.  That's the way I got it from the seller. This drum does have some signs of being on the road. (see photos). It has some scratches and dings.  The one thing Simon did was NOT use a 22 inch bass drum head with the typical chrome ring, he preferred to use a 21 inch tympani head with out the chrome rim.  His original head comes with the drum.   He had the claws to pull the head from the heads epoxy rim. That's what this gong drum has, the head he used without the chrome ring.  This  22 inch hoop can still be ordered if you would rather use the drum as intended by Tama. Also, Simon used a custom stand for his gong drum.  PLEASE NOTE: THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE DRUM ONLY! NO STAND OF ANY SORT IS A PART OF THIS AUCTION.  If you doubt that this drum was owned by Simon, then buy this drum as a factory rarity. I've never seen another one come up for sale.  Because of the value and rarity of this drum, I will not accept returns.  I don't want to have this drum shipped back and forth because someone has buyers remorse.  If you are not comfortable with this, please don't bid.
