Yep, there was such a thing. Not vintage but vintage flavored.

A really nice kit, too! The CL seller is asking only $900. Sounds like a bargain to me, especially when you consider that that there is one on eBay right now for $5500. Of course we all know that one is WAY overpriced!

Depending on the model you could buy these brand new for $900 at one time. Sam Ash had them at that price. I was really tempted to get one. The hardware is cool, like DW style mounts but with a BR shield in place of the DW. There were different versions, first DW did some Buddy tribute drums and then there was the Buddy Rich Drum Co. that made the ones I'm talking about. If I remember right some of their output was imported (or at least parts of it were) but there was mention on their website of doing custom high end versions as well although I never saw any of those. I think it was a boutique builder who Cathy sanctioned, or perhaps hired, to build these drums.

I kind of regret not buying the set I saw at Sam Ash, it was there for a few months but finally sold. Bound to be "collectible" at some point.
