About 10 years ago, a friend gave me this kit he had found while dumpster diving. I took one look at it, dismissed as an abused starter kit and stored it in my out building. This past weekend, my son was asking about an 18" kick drum and I told him that I thought the kit in the shed was an 18".He went outside and brought it to the garage and it was then that we realized what we had. We believe this to be from 1965(stamped 512 in two of the drums). The sizes are 4x14 snare,8x13 tom,14x16 tom and 14x20 kick. They are in amazing shape for the years of neglect they have endured. I honestly believe the heads were the original heads.We were able to save one of the kick heads, but the others were too far gone. These pics were taken before any cleanup began. If interested, I'll post some after pics when we are done.
There are a few pieces missing, but not many. When I get a complete list I will prolly be asking for help in finding what we need. PLEASE don't beat me up because it took me 10 years to figure out what I had.That's already been going on.
