Nice! I love that finish.

I recently purchased a 63/64 John Grey Broadway kit. 22/14/12/16. The floor tom isn't original, it matches well though. However, I am on the look out for a matching one...so if anyone has any leads, please PM me:) Another note, you'll see in the pictures a triple flange hoop on the rack tom batter side, I have the original hoop...the previous owner had put that on, just haven't swapped it out yet. I will when a get some new pre-international heads.

I'm very impressed with the build quality. I love the die cast hoops and tension rods, very classy looking imo. I lucked out, my kit is in amazing shape, well taken care of...and for super cheap, seller was desperate to sell.

I look forward to seeing more JG drums!

Cheers.

The only John Grey drummy thing I have is a bass drum pedal. Love to have a kit though, but god knows where I'd put it. Too many drums, not enough space (sound familiar?). Both of those finishes are beautiful!

Can you post a pic of the pedal?

Okay, here are some pics. The strap is not original - it also seems a little too short.
