Mike Upah, the drummer for a cover band called Riot Inc., found this baby on Ebay and decided to swipe it. Here's the story:
“Greetings, my name is Mike Upah. I have a Pork Pie 5-piece high gloss lacquer in the color Burnt Toast Fade with black powder coat hardware,” Mike explains. “I have been a fan of Pork Pie for many years, ever since I started using their snares. I recently found this gem on eBay, had some cash laying around, and splurged. The story with the set is a guy’s wife bought it for him, but he wasn't a drummer. So it sat unplayed in his living room for five years before he decided to sell it. It still has the original heads on it — soon to be changed, but just the same. I didn't see any Pork Pies on your site, so I thought, what the hell. Here are the specs..."

Beautiful kit Mike. You have an interesting mix of cymbals and hardware. Love the red and blue Pork Pie snare drums. Very cool.
Keep on drumming,

True. It makes me miss my auxiliary snare drum. It was a Pork Pie like Mike’s, only it was a little “popcorn snare” — like 10” x 5”. The thing had tons of crack, but I actually only used it on one song with a band that I played with in the early 2000s. It sat in my closet for years after I left the band (the fewer cases I have to carry to gig the better). But still, it was a blast to go to that secondary snare during key moments.
