Sweet! I had taken a pic of that kit at the show. Congrats on your purchase!
Olimpass, that picture is way better than mine - you got Marty Monson in the picture too! Thanks,
I was checking out that kit at Maxwell's shop Friday morning before the show. Very, very nice! Congrats on your aquisition.
Can anyone, please, kindly give me a price indication of that kit, when exhibited at the show (guess that member MikeJtone is not willing to tell the truth :) )?
@ MikeJtone: will you keep the kit in it's actual status or do you intend to polish it up?

NB: oh - I forgot: this is a beautiful and cool thing!
What a piece of crap! Someone sharpied all over that kit. Dang.
; )
seriously sweet score. rare rare rare
I would be interested to know which star's autograph are on there.
Were there sport's star's? Actors? Musicians? Politicians?
You lucky dog!
Thanks! Larry I do feel like a lucky dog!
To update on a question as far as leaving / cleaning it up - I did lightly clean the bass drum shell & the hardware by hand, the rest of the set I left alone. It is a cool piece of drum history & a cool set, that big bass drum & the snare really are great pieces that could be played at a gig, but I think that the toms would not work very well - flat sounding. The snare has a wide open woody sound, very cool, with the original Leedy snare wires and snare side head too!
I am glad & thankful that I got it, now what?
Thanks again,
Mike
Hi Mike,
When I saw you set over the weekend I was speachless, honest !!!
It blew me away, I never thought I would ever see an Autograph set.
It was worth coming 3.000 miles just to see it.
Many many congratulations on THE BEST SET AT THE SHOW, EVER bar none.
A stunning vintage "true rarety" wow.

DAve it was good to see you again my friend, that is a true lover of vintage drums to travel 3,000 miles for the Chicago Drum show! We will have to have a beer next time! And thanks!
Mike
Vibes I can tell you that I found Sonny Greer's signature among them on 3 of the drums, but if you can tell me the names of some other famous Leedy endorsers I can look for their signatures, that would be kind of fun.
