Thanks, Guys - I pick them up tomorrow, and I already sold the Sabian cymbals that come with them for just under the cost of the whole package. Looks like I'll get the drums for less than $50 overall.

I believe the wrap is called Peacock Pearl. I'll get them cleaned up and post some pics. Really excited about my first foray into vintage drums!

I also think you made a great score:-) have fun with them;-)

Okay, so here are the drums I bought. I've dusted them and am trying to decide how much more to do. Thoughts???? Worth taking them apart and doing this right?

The second picture shows what else I got in the deal. I'll be able to sell the cymbals and hardware for more than the $300 I paid for the package.

And the drums...

How interesting is this old leather strap pearl bass drum pedal?

If it is tight, that very well could be a great pedal. Other than the entry level stencil pedals (like the "Pro Pedals"), old MIJ can be very good performing pedals.

Looks like a Pearl.....would you look at that - I can read Laughing H

That is a MAJOR score! I would consider keeping the stool - you don't see those very often. Sure it is comfy to use too :)

One more thing - yeah, I think that is a more rare color - and any Vintage Star kit in that good of shape deserves a full restore IMHO (especially with a rare color).

Thank you, Drummer John - I am a rookie here and appreciate the guidance.

Nice wrap color. Those MIJ had some funky wrap colors, thats fior sure.
