If you go take a look at it, be sure to look at the sizes carefully. They could be twin 12's or a 12 and 13". Also, the floor tom could be a 16". I have a WMP Apollo set with teardrop type lugs 12/13/16/20, so it could be either combination. Just something to look out for, especially if the sizes are important to you.

Well, I went over to look at the kit tonight and ended up buying it.

Here's what I got:

Apollo Kit (White Marine Pearl):

20" bass drum;

13" rack tom;

14" 8-lug snare drum; and

16" floor tom

Slingerland Drums (White Marine Pearl):

12" rack tom (S/N 187993); and

18" floor tom (S/N 188206)

Extras:

Early 70s Ludwig Porto-Throne;

Rogers 70s Supreme Hi-Hat Stand;

Rogers 70s 48-0512 Cymbal Stand;

ZBT 18" Crash/Ride;

ZBT 13" Hi-Hats;

Pearl P-100 Pedal;

Zildjian Stick Bag; and

Unknown-Make Snare Stand

The Slingerland toms and Rogers stands were a real nice little bonus!

Wow, sounds like you got a killer deal! So the chrome snare ended up being an Apollo, not a Supra? Well, it's always good to have the matching snare. Are all the badges the same? I bet that snare ends up sounding pretty decent tuned up with a fresh coated Amb. Would you mind posting some pics of the snare and the Apollos set up as a 4 piece?

Nice score!

Oh, I'm sorry about the ZBTs... Toilet

The snare is WMP, like the rest of the kit. I've attached a few pics. I haven't had a chance to do any cleaning as of yet. All the drums have coated Ambassadors mounted on the batter sides. The ZBTs aren't even a concern. I'll find somebody who needs some "functional" cymbals to take them off my hands.

Hey Blake! There's your snare!

Anyway Craig, great score!!! I hope you did as well as you thought you were going to do. This is a top notch, going in the bag, score, if the money you discussed earlier is the rub. That 18" Sling is worth the price of admission, and there are more than one or two members that would like to have it. Man, you guys, I live in a desert as far as MIJ goes, and you all find them in the trash, or for $1.50 at yard sales....gotta love it!

Let's see the shell, if this is one of two different ones, I can tell you it will blast bullets when edged an d sanded. I have this one that is 6 ply, and one that is 5 ply, and one that is 3 ply and all took different amounts of "love" to get to the plateau, but once there, that are great.

Nope, John, that's your snare! What's going first, the eyes or the memory??? ;)

Actually, that's the snare that my Apollo set should have. The set has the teardrop copy lugs, the snare has the Sound King copies. And I wish mine had the adjustable butt end! Well, we cant have everything in this life.

But thanks for posting the pics, Oldschool! It's a sweet looking drum. I really like the design of the strainer and you gotta love an adjustable butt. Please put up pics of the set when you can.

I have no doubt that I'll be selling it in the near future.

No, that's not mine. This is the snare he got with this kit. I love it, and really wish I could buy it, but as it is, I am up to my eyes in other kits that I must complete....
