As usual the catalogues do not tell the whole story. Bass Drums In the early years of production a standard set was a "Constellation" with a 20" bass and 12" and 16" toms. I don't remember ever seeing a 22" bass fitted with B&B lugs. When the drums started to be fitted with beavertail lugs in early 1965 larger sizes became more common. The 18" bass drum is VERY rare. |

Toms 12"x8" - quite common with either B&B or Beavertail lugs.
13"x9" - uncommon with B&B lugs, more common with Beavertail lugs, but still less so than the 12"x8".
14"x14" - VERY rare with either B&B or Beavertail lugs, I have only seen a handful, see opposite. The catalogue gives the impression that they weren't produced during the time that the drums came with B&B lugs, but this is not borne out by what turns up.
16"x16" - quite common with either B&B or Beavertail lugs.
16"x18" - never seen one, however there are some photos where Dave Clark appear to be using an 18" diameter floor tom at the front of the stage. |

Bongos The photos in the catalogues show American Rogers bongos but B&H did produce their own.
