Another Leedy Returns

Loading...

Ok, I'm sorry, but I got to tell this story.

I bought this 1965 Leedy kit in a bdp finish about a month ago for $550. I had planned on flipping it and put it on cl. I decided to use it for an upcoming gig, the kit sounded so incredibly delicious and looked so cool on stage I had to re-think my intent to sell. I wasn't getting any bites anyway so I was about to delete my ad when I get a text from a dude wanting to buy at my asking price of $850. I initially thought, no, don't do it! But my compulsive flipping disorder kicked in and I took the cash. After coming to my senses, I desperately tried to get kit back again, I made buyer several trade offers and he was tempted, but ultimately said no. Then out of the blue I had a chance to pick up the Leedy fiesta pearl kit, I sent buyer a picture and he was hooked. I wound up not only getting the bdp back, but $350 on top. The fiesta is rare and cool, but it had some issues, cracks in the wrap, missing rail mount and mufflers and it had a 12,16,20, I'm not into 12" toms.

So here she is again, the kit is as clean as a whistle, all original except for the wing screws on the floor tom legs. All drums are dated November, 1965. Welcome home sweetie!

9x13, 16x16, 14x20

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Yes, beautiful kit, and I can't wait to see the beauty it's traded for in two months. I love JR's rotating collection.

I plan on keeping this one for awhile because it's so clean and sounds great. I'm down to one kit again, but I'm looking for a second to keep the rotation going.Excited
