Hey Shawn..nice kit but its not a Downbeat.The Downbeat kit consisted of 20,12,14 and a 4x14 downbeat snare or a supraphonic snare.Check out the vintage drum guide .Good luck wth those beautiful Ludwigs and nice clean up.

From Shawn M

When I inquired about them he told me:"A friend found them on the curb in downtown St. Louis about a year ago, Im not going to do anything with them, you want them?"

How come I never find any cool vintage kits sitting on the curb in downtown Vancouver? Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough? Maybe I need to travel to St. Louis?

Very nice job Shawn. The drums look GREAT!

Drummy, You obviously live in too nice a neighborhood...

Shawn - great job. Go ahead and give back the borrowed Slingys to their day job. You have your drums now baby.
