Some time ago I purchased a Cleveland-era Rogers Wine Red Ripple Holiday kit with some cosmetic issues. My original thought was to re-wrap the entire kit in Green Glass Glitter. However, most of my fellow forum members thought that would be sacrilegious.
I've kept the kit "as is" but might be selling it in the immediate future to help fund another project I'm currently working. Below is a description of what I've got. I'll be able to send some detailed pics of the drums by this week-end.
If, after reading the below description, you're interested in viewing some pics of "the good, bad & ugly" of this kit, feel free to drop me a PM with your email and I'll get them out to you.
I haven't determined an "asking" price as of yet but I'll have to take into consideration what I paid for the kit as well as what I invested into it after the purchase. At this time, I guess I'd consider the actual selling price to be "negotiable" for a seriously interested prospective buyer.
THANKS for your time!
Here's the description:

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
This kit was purchased from the original owner. As stated above, small microphones had been mounted in all the toms, thus the additional holes. The bass drum wrap is in extremely nice condition. However, the wraps on both rack toms show some scrapes & scuffs although nothing significant. The floor tom wrap has significant cracking (in the wrap, not the shell). Despite the cosmetic issues addressed above, the kit is extremely sound functionally. Double tom mount & arms are included. Cymbal L-arm is not. I have no idea why the SN on one of the rack toms is extremely low in comparison to the other three drums in the kit. Great thing about this kit is that it includes all the required hardware to use it as either a 3-piece or 4-piece kit (exclusive of the snare drum).
