WOW! That's the good stuff! Super cool kit - sizes and wrap.
15 years ago1966 Slingerland's need help ASAP
Missing inlay on BD hoops, but otherwise look quite good, assuming they haven't been re-wrapped. If wrap is original, I'd say good deal.
15 years agoInfo on old Ludwigs
Sounds like mod orange to me! If so, a rare and highly collectable set of drums there. With 14" FT - YOWZA!!! I believe I speak for all in saying -...
15 years agoIs this Blue Strata Pearl???

15 years agoSlingerland hoops

15 years ago70's Supraphonic
