Product Description

As a companion piece to The Century Project DVD, Traps: The Incredible Story of Vintage Drums (1865--1965) is a detailed and highly entertaining DVD designed to introduce modern drummers to the evolution of the instrument. Hosted by award-winning drummer, author, and educator Daniel Glass, this DVD brings together an unprecedented collection of vintage gear---including many rare and museum-quality pieces---to take you on a fascinating 100-year journey that starts before the invention of the bass drum pedal and ends with the legendary Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl "Ringo kit."With special guest commentator John Aldridge (author of The Guide to Vintage Drums), Daniel Glass brings the vintage world to life through eleven stunning kits that cover all the major American drum companies (Ludwig, Slingerland, Gretsch, Leedy, and Rogers). Traps: The Incredible Story of Vintage Drums (1865-1965) also uses more than 300 product stills and vintage catalog shots to touch on a wide range of vintage-related topics, including: badges, finishes, traps, pedals, calfskin heads, Ludwig Black Beauty snares, Slingerland Radio Kings, Gretsch "Round Badge" drums, K-Zildjian cymbals, and much more.

Traps: The Incredible Story of Vintage Review

Kudos to Daniel Glass and Drum Channel for making this its own release and not relegating it to the 'special features' on the Century Project discs. If you have any interest in vintage drums, or interest in the evolution of how drums were made, whatever this DVD costs you will be worth it. The multitude of examples of vintage gear (including gorgeous close-ups), explanations of how things were assembled and how they worked (or didn't work quite right, in some cases), and deep context for why and when some technologies were introduced make this disc a goldmine of information.

Is it instructional? No. But you should know that from looking at the case. Is it educational? Absolutely. The evolution of what eventually became the drumset in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is a fascinating story, and what you get with this 2-disc set is that history told through the drums, cymbals, and hardware across the decades.
