{"product_id":"eddie-ryan-6-piece-shell-pack-in-red-tortoise-shell","title":"Eddie Ryan 6-Piece Shell Pack in Red Tortoise Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to own a piece of British drum-building history. Eddie Ryan is a legendary name in the UK custom scene, renowned for hand-crafting kits for world-class artists including Paul McCartney, Pick Withers (Dire Straits), and jazz icon Louis Bellson. Known for his meticulous bearing edge work and \"split-shell\" innovations, an Eddie Ryan kit represents the pinnacle of 1970s\/80s bespoke craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis hybrid shell pack offers a unique \"best of both worlds\" sonic profile. The bass drum and floor tom feature classic 3-ply shells with reinforcement rings. These provide the warm, musical \"thump\" associated with high-end vintage Premier builds of the 60s and 70s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe rack toms are constructed from thicker multi-ply shells (likely African Mahogany) with dark interiors and no reinforcement rings. This creates a focused, darker tone with significantly more projection and \"fatness\" than standard vintage shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eConfigured as concert toms, this kit delivers a punchy, direct attack with a fast decay—the quintessential studio sound of the late 70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is in very good condition for it's age showing some light cosmetic marks from general use.
