The drums are very badly out of round. Even re-rings won't save those. If you manage to get heads on them, use them as a beater kit. I wouldn't spend any money on them though. Re-cutting the bearing edges won't serve any purpose either. They're just too far gone. Wavy gravy.

Sorry. Just what I see...

Iam sorry but i see is some parts drums..To much wrong with the drums to put money in them to restore.How is the bass drum? Is it like the snare and tom?....Mikey

Bass drum is solid and round. As whacked as the snare seems, heads fit nicely, so I may have Willie over at Steve Maxwell's cut the edges on both those drums.

Is it worth finding an original throw? Do they function well enough to use?

...on the look out for a couple of Kent gold sparkle toms.

I think your best bet is also to use the hardware on this kit. Find a cheap Kent kit that is missing things on it and you will be all set. I wouldn't drop ANY money into these. Maybe you can find a artist or you can do something cool with the shells.

Yep. That sounds like a much better plan.

Thanks.

There's a guy on DFO giving away a Kent Bass drum shell. He might have some extra shells to part with too. He's in the Hudson Valley area upstate NY. Page 2 in the FS section there.
