Came across this Black Marine Pearl kit about 8 years ago. I don't really have the time to play so I'm looking to sell this to someone who can enjoy it much more than I can. I cross referenced the badges with http://www.vintagesnaredrums.com/drcjw/article_2_serial_numbers_page1.html
to make sure of it's production.

On to the good stuff:
The kit is in GREAT condition, virtually no pitting in the chrome on the hardware, no fade in the finish, and NO warping of the shells what so ever.

Hats: 14"
Ride: 22"
Sizzle: 22"
Crash1: 16"
Crash2: 18"

All Avedis-Zildjian Cymbals (1960's) EXCEPT for the 16": Pastie Heavy Crash Cymbal (Crash1)
Drums

Bass: 20" x 14"

You also get:
Soft cases for all drums
Original Slingerland Bassdrum heads
Cymbal Case
All hardware (individual original stands for each cymbal, snare stand, Ludwig Speedking Pedal, Bass and Floor Tom Legs, etc)
Problems:
Hoop on the bass drum has a bit of paint flaking however the Black Marine Pearl Finish on the shell is still in perfect condition.
ONE of the hat's is slightly keyholed (bought it this way, hasn't gotten any worse).
Pictures:
If you need/want specific pictures of anything... feel FREE TO ASK ME. I'll do my best to get them to you as soon as you ask.
Everything is all original hardware and works flawlessly. The kit has been kept indoors always in a temp. controlled environment. Only time anything was ever taken outside was to transport to new living location.
I'm asking $1,200.00 for everything (including stands and all other hardware, cymbal soft case, drum soft cases). If you have a questions feel free to PM me. I'm located in Orlando, Florida to estimate shipping costs. I'll be checking this often... as I would like to get these to someone who can enjoy them instead of having them sit around and collect dust.
