Gary - Here's a photo of my little ZILCO Mini-China! Bottle-cap rattles and all. The one on your kit is nicer, looks like it has tambourine jingles. Mine is a piece of Americana with the bottle-caps and home-made look. Very cool trashy sound too!

Cheeses, Mary and Joseph, OldSchool! That's a twin to the one I'm working on! 28" twelve-lugger, single tension with the faucet handle T-rods and pass-through central lugs.I'm a retired graphics pro... I -LOVE- the graphics on those heads! Especially the 'Radio' logo. Would you mind if I stole the idea for my bass drum head? If it's ok with you, please post a good shot of the head straight-on/ not from any 'angles.' If I can see an example square-on, I'll be able to reproduce it.I'm not sure how they would have said it in the 20's/30's, but that trap kit is definitely the cats pajamas! :DThanks for posting the shots, buddy. Much appreciated. It was cool to see the kit. Not many like it around anymore. You've become a temporary custodian of a bit of music and drumming history. The drums are in the best of hands...JohnPS - Hey, I have the exact same 'Bottle-cap' sizzle cymbal that you have! Super-cool trashy sound! I'll post a photo of it for you. I haven't had a chance to play around with mine yet, I only just got it with this old W&A kit I'm working on. I got -two- boxes full of rusty antique drum hardware, pedals, stands, doo-hickey's, a low-boy with the original cymbals, etc. etc. etc. I'll post up a shot of the pop bottle-cap cymbal tomorrow. :p

Steal away, John (lol)!
