Thanks for the compliment!

The sizes are 22x14, 13x9 & 16x16.

I just set up the kit to inspect the drums fully, the original ludwig tom mount was replaced with a tama tom mount (much better quality and more 'fine tuning' options to get the tom right where you want it... but, not original none the less. The original 'banana slide tom mount' was removed and is not included). For a 1966, the drums are really in great shape too. The spurs kick ass and all the drums shells sing very well. (I love the 60's white painted inner shell Ludwigs). The interior memory rings are in great shape too. The gold sparkle wrap is all original and not faded. There are some minor marks on the tom wrap (looks to be from the snare rubbing up against the tom), but all in all, great shape. The floor tom is maple ply and the factory filled in the edges of the ply with whatever wood-filler material they used back then. There is a spot at the bearing edge that I would fill in to make it completely level all the way around. But the drum sounds so perfect and I'm not inclined to do the work myself, nor do I think the floor tom needs this done. (It just sounds too damn good to 'fix'). Lastly, one of the floor tom legs is missing the rubber foot. Due to the non-original mount and imperfections listed above, I lowered the price.

That's about all the info I can muster up about the kit.

I'll try to get some more pics taken while I have it set up.

If there's anything you want pics of, please let me know.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Bob

Hey Wayne, Thanks for noticing my error.

I had my friend measure it for me and he said it was 17"... I quicky thought that he's counting from 'edge to edge' of the hoops.... so I mistakenly rounded it off to 16".

The bass drum dimensions are in fact 22" x 14".

Thanks again.

Bob
