Sweet looking kit! Is that original sparkling green pearl, or is a re-wrap?

Very Nice!!! The background for the photo shoot is so appropriate too.

The heads fitting went fine in the end,... Remo nor Aquarian gave problems.

The cases were a lucky score indeed. I found them in Holland for a sweet price.

The brand is GRIKOFA, an Amsterdam based cases-manufacturer from the 50's & 60's. The floor-tom-case is a 16" in stead of 14" but nothing that a little foam won't fix,...

The hardest part was to find a 14" Club Date floor-tom for a price that wouldn't risk my kids suffer from 2 weeks of starvation !

In the end I was lucky enough to find an almost perfect one for a reasonable price.

Thanks for all the nice comments,..

Tons of pictures here:

A beautiful kit you can be very proud of. Nice job! And yes, those cases are very cool.
