Let's see now...

A 1999 6-piece set of Arbiter AT drums in emerald green lacquer

A complete 1969 Ludwig Jazzette in red sparkle with the original matching Supra, SpeedKing, Atlas hi-hat and one1400 flat base stand

A 1967 Downbeat in red sparkle with a matching 1966 red sparkle Downbeat snare

*Also a very close-matching 1967 Jazzette bass drum in red sparkle that can be used in place of the Downbeat bass drum and make it into another Jazzette shellpack....no matching Supra, unfortunately.

An absolute dead-mint piano black wrap 1974-5 Rogers Big R 22 X 14 bass drum and spurs (was part of a double bass drum kit I bought when I was a kid and never used the second bass drum in reality)

The matching 12 and 14 inch Big R toms and a single tom mounting arm. Original Humes & Berg fibre cases, too

A 194? Ludwig Junior kit -complete with old K Zildjiian cymbal snd China type cymbal and swan neck cymbal mount and.... a bunch of con"trap"tions

A popcorn snare made by Buzz King of King Drums (maker of the Bopkat kits)

A 1964 Ludwig Pioneer in gold sparkle...original heads....perfect drum in the gray suitcase

A 50's era (I think) Sherwood 6.5 X 14 snare drum -single flange brass rims, 8 tune lugs made by the Conn company with a Leedy/Ludwig 3 -ply shell, white paint interior...calf heads

A Leedy marching drum

8 different "toy" drums from the early 20th century - all calf heads

A mid 70's era Zickos fiberglass Supersonic marshmallow shape bass drum

An untouched, unbranded toy snare drum with original sticks and ornate key in the original cardboard box...tin body, wood rims, calf heads

bunch of hardware and...stuff

various ethnic drums...doumbek, bongos, cowbells and percussion stuff

A bunch of cymbals from the 70's and 80's and 90's -mostly Zildjians

hardware out the yang hole

literature, catalogs....

probably some other stuff I'm forgetting at the moment.
