Well when you are ready to let that blue agate slip through your fingers let me know!

I realize that this isn't one of the kits that you listed on your "wish list" as a possible trade, but I was just wondering if you'd have any interest in this one:

FLOOR TOM – Leedy 16X14

The Leedy floor tom was added to the kit by the original owner. Based on the fairly close “fade” on all of the drums, I believe that the floor tom was used as an integral part of this kit over the last 60 years.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

It should be noted that the original calfskin head on the bottom side of the tacked-down rack tom had been ripped and removed. However, the original owner provided a piece of original calfskin, should one decide to have it remounted and re-tacked.

I'm honestly not sure whether I plan to keep this one or "move" it. I'd be more than happy to forward some pics, should you actually have any interest in it.

Thanks!

i'm still interested in the snare if it is hangin out. :)

Here ya go....

i'm grounded for a while and will not be drummin' until the docs gimme the yippieyiyo.

there seems to be some items off about this luddy kit.

What do you mean "items off"? This kit is all original, only thing missing are the tom mufflers, 3ply clear maple interiors, dated January 14, 1969, last chance.

my mistake. thought that the badge and wrap had issues and that there might be a few t-rods off. i seem to have been mistaken.

So, you interested?

Why, oh, why ? Poor little lamb, can't give those away.Laughing H

Actually, they are not up for trade anymore. Had a friend come over this eve and we finished the floor tom. The wife decided that this one deserves the time and effort. She wants to see me play it. That's gonna take a while due to the healing time. Coming along great. Will post updated pics next week as promised.

Not much of a lamb, but I do feel your frustration. Gotta be tough when so many have your number. Good luck in all of life's pursuits. I wish you well.
