All seams on all drums are perfect with no lifting. Toms have brand new Remo black dot heads. 13 tom has a brand new Remo clear Ambassador head and the 16 has a new clear Evans head. The front head on the bass drum is original to the drum set. All drums have low 4-digit serial numbers...which dates this kit to late 63, early 64...right before the Beatle explosion and right before production got sloppy. These were built before then and it really shows in their quality.
This is the Karen Carpenter / Joe Morello drum set but many others played this color and configuration back in the 60s...the Kinks, Mitch...even Ringo had that oversized silver sparkle kit later in the Beatles career. Many others as well played this color. These drums sing and tune up nicely. Getting harder and harder to find these complete original drum sets out there...get this one while you can! I bought this set in 1994 when the OJ thing was going on, so I've had it for decades and it spent most of its life in cases in the closet. No disappointments with this drum set.
Pick up with cash or I will consider shipping and buyers expense.
Thanks for looking!
