Kent 8x13 Rack Tom?
Hello - We'd need to see pictures of the interior to be sure, but your shell is likely maple. From what little we know about Kent badges, the blue & g...
15 years agoVintage guitars have problems to!
I can agree and disagree with your sons teacher. By that I mean yes, you can indeed spend several hundred or thousands on a top name guitar and not ge...
15 years agoKENT WMP SNARE-What would you pay?
Kent badges of this era were foil, so they usually got mangled when cleaning the drum. Many do not survive 40 or 50 years of handling and cleaning. T...
15 years agoKent kit in BDP!
Something fishy going on here... Check out the interior of the kick. Looks like it's painted. Also, that's not a Kent tom mount or tom arm, so it's be...

My guess is Red Oyster Pearl - Can't find them either. Another CHampagne Sparkle kit is up for auction as well. See, they are falling from the sky no...
15 years agoSweet Kent Champ. Sparkle in jazz sizes on the Bay.
Yes, $300.00 IMHO is a reasonable price. $250.00 or $200.00 would be a steal. I paid roughly $400.00 (or a bit more) for my champagne sparkle kit when...
15 years agoSweet Kent Champ. Sparkle in jazz sizes on the Bay.
Right, which is why $300.00 for even a 3 piece is not a bad price. $400.00... well, you have to decide how badly you want them because the addition of...
