All I can say is wow! This is the first kit I've acquired that's been made in this century. Here we have a C&C 12th & Vine kit. They have 5ply maple/poplar/maple shells with 7ply maple re-rings. I'm not sure what the finish is called, but it's gorgeous. It also has wood hoops for the toms. Check out that tom mount, simple, but efficient.

So ya made the deal? You got them home? They are gorgeous! I bet they sound killer too!
I'll give them a go tomorrow, I'm absolutely sure they will rock!
That looks like a Gibraltar rail mount by Dunnett, it's great. A thin cymbal felt is good under the rubber on the part resting on the bd
I'm not sure who makes the rail mount, but it works great. C&C, unlike a lot of companies, make their own shells and are reminiscent of vintage drums with greater attention to detail.
I've been wanting one of these for a long time, it's absolutely gorgeous and they sound incredible.
Nice and natural, just the way they should be. I believe they were motivated to capture that vintage vibe, and it looks like they did.
You must have traded everything you had for them??
What does the drum badge look like?Jumping2
It's funny you mention that. I had my re-wrapped Slingerland and pre-serial duco Ludwig on Austin cl. The Ludwig had a Rocker floor tom that was re-finished to match, so neither kit was original and I had about $500 in each kit. This guy in Austin texted me and asked if I would trade both kits for this C&C. He had the kit on cl a few months ago, so I'd seen it before. It was a no brainer, I packed up the drums and met him the next day.
Here's a few more pictures I just took today, they are everything I'd thought they'd be. They sound very much like vintage Ludwigs, but tune up much easier. The toms are warm and the kick has a nice full tone.
A steal!!
Here's a 12th and Vine kit at Memphis Drum Shop for $3200.00

Mark, keep those! They are awesome
Ya, they are pretty cool. I may also buy this Super Flyer kit from the same guy I got these from. They have mahogany shells like the Player Date.
