Description

The listing, Vintage Jazz Drum Brushes has ended.

Here is a pair of all-metal vintage or antique drum brushes. Not sure of year - I've had them a looong time, and don't even remember where I got them.

They have the name "TIMIS" engraved on the handles. In doing an internet search, I couldn't find anything related by that name.

These brushes came to me with the bristles very rusty. At one point I cleaned the rust with vinegar. Please note, there is extensive corrosion and finish damage to the metal on the handles.

The bristles are retractable via a pull down level on the handles, seen in the first and last pictures. The last picture shows the bristles in retracted states. Mechanisms work good.

I don't even know if anyone would want these old things, but perhaps there's a jazz drummer out there in Listia-land who would have an interest.

I'm afraid not at this time. We're guitarists, so I do have some guitar things. Don't even remember where I got these, but we came into them somehow a really long time ago. I'll keep you in mind if we see any more drum accessories.

Yes, the vinegar got rid of the rust on the brushes. However, there is still corrosion on the handles, and they look rusty in places. Perhaps they can be cleaned with a metal cleaner. I'm not a drummer and haven't tried using them, but don't see why they wouldn't be functional.
