Snare? Who said anything about a snare?Once again, I think you guys are low-balling the value of the kit. In my mind, the Leedy character plus-up outweighs everything. Try finding a 60s Leedy - you'll find 20 Slingerland kits for every one Leedy. Frankly, I don't think of BDP as a minus, just not a plus. Like blue or red sparkle - typical.Sure looks clean to me. Weigh the advantage of a no-work acquisition into your equation. But frankly, JR, you don't seem to keep kits in the stable very long, so are you really more asking about flip-value?

I think that set can easily bring $700. I paid $700 for my blue sparkle '65 Leedys with changed tom legs and bass drum spurs. They're Slingerland drums in most ways. I too like the Leedy lugs. I use these drums on small space gigs, because they are 20/12/14. They sound fine and look good.
