From CTMichaelV

Here are a few pics of my kit, a nice 1960's 4-piece in Blue Onyx, has the oval style silver badges. I am in the process of reinstalling the mufflers and I just bought a E.W. Kent logo for the bass drum that I will install once I am back in CT.

That would be an early 70s MIJ imported Kent set not a 60s .

Thanks for the info. When I bought it the seller told me it was a 60s Kent.

No worries either way as I love the wrap and am in the process of cleaning it up to bring it back to new. If anyone has more info as to the date, etc that would be great !

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection

I had a thread on this but thought I should have it here too.... Here is a project I am working on and have been since the summer . This set has a real 18" Kent bass drum which is pretty rare . I know of another and have heard rumor of one more . I still have some work to do yet but wanted to share .... The sizes are 18 , 12, 14 , and 5x14 - 8 lug snare all in original finish ... It still has the Kent logo bass drum heads ... I hope you like it and sorry for the bad pic I will have more and better ones as I finish , so far it sound great !

Hi bmx,

I noticed that a lot of your pics in the beginning of this thread have disappeared...Any chance you could re post them using the attachment feature so they won`t disappear again? I know there were some nice looking drums you posted...

How many Kent sets now do you have?

Cheers
