Welcome to Quite Frankly Drums.

From Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, to Slingerland, Gretsch, A&F, Pearl, Premier and many more!

This website and my social media channels contain my musings and tributes to the drums, their previous owners along with the history of the items that reside in my rare and unique drum collection with sets spanning 100 years.

Unique vintage, ex name classics and modern specialist boutique drums, all of which I am hugely grateful to be able to own such a rare and perhaps, unique collection.

If you would like to know further information about any of the items, please do drop me a line.

If you wish to use any images from my website, please contact me first. Thank you!

I have a long history of working in the music industry and have assisted many famous drummers over the last 40 years and if you have time, you can read about how the QUITE FRANKLY DRUMS COLLECTION came about on this LINK.

You can also read about the Genesis of the name - Quite Frankly Drums in the QFD BLOG or at the new SUBSTACK website.

If you also perhaps have something that you think I might be interested in, I'd love to hear from you!

In closing, the site is dedicated with loving thanks to my late father, Frank Collins along with his father, Frank Collins senior, who between them, set me on my lifelong drumming path.

Thank you for visiting Quite Frankly Drums, I hope you enjoy your time here.
