another one, definitely pearl white but you'll have to pay to ship it from Canada $150. http://woodstock.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-drums-percussion-Coronet-drums-for-sale-W0QQAdIdZ515255496

Hi Richm,

I can't believe it the white kit looks like the one, I hope the person has the bottom lugs and hoops for the bass drum and floor tom

Thank you soooooo much, now to get on to that seller.

kind regards,

Vic

Such a cute pic. Hell if I had one I'd give it to you for nothing. Check ebay as well as google somethign like "coronet" and "drum" and "craigslist".You can search this forum as well for previous threads discussing Coronets.I'll be on the lookout too. Good luck.

Hi Larry,

the pic is me exactly 45 years ago TODAY! yes it' my 53rd birthday today, looks like one of the other members found me a kit,

I will post a note when I get one

thank you for all your help

Vic,

When you find one, it would be swell if you could post a pic of you now with your new/old kit. Best of luck!

I wish I could remember the brand name of my first kit - it was a slingerland lug-alike kit that I believe the brand name started with a C and was red sparkle. I've been hooked on 20" bass drums ever since!

Nope, that badge isn't right. I think it was oval and 99.9% sure it was RoC made. Thanks for the input though...

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

This is what you are looking for I believe! All that's missing is the bass drum mounted cymbal arm. I sent you a PM. Check your box Keep on Pl

Hi funkypoodle

you did it, that's it, apart from the bass cymbal arm, but I'm sure I could find that piece in time. what is the cost of the kit and where is it?

I look forward to hearing from you

regards,

Vic
