I like them. Super durable finish as well. That's a good price as you well know.

Awesome price ! I would snag them up immediately..

Look to be in great condition also.

I bought a late 70s orphan 6-ply Ludwig tom with the same rims- one rim with rounded ears and one rim with flat ears. Everything appeared original- even the heads.

But who knows with Ludwig. Consistently inconsistent.

I don't concern myself with originality of tom hoops. As long as the hoops look nice and are functional, I'm good. I'm more concerned with how clean the kit is and extra holes.

I'm i like jr, I don't get too excited over things, like hoops and tesion rods being original. It's nice if they are but not a must have.

I'm not a big fan of the cortex wraps either, they look too fake. But as much Mike pointed out they are very durable.

Nice drums, but doesn't excite me though..

Fine the wrap a tad boring

looks like you got a sweet deal. I'm not a huge fan of the cortex finishes (although I like Walnut the best of the cortex faux wood options) but if those had been local to me at that price I probably would have jumped on them too. Those finishes are tough so they make good gigging drums.

I'm not overly concerned with hoops and T rods either. If they're original that's great but if not no biggie as long as they look okay.

This is not my favorite finish either, but it's starting to grow on me. I really bought them because they are clean and original, plus the price was right and leaves me some room to make a profit if I decide to sell them.
