If all of the parts missing from the pictures are present, you might have a good trade arrangement. Is there any shipping involved in the potential trade? If so, that could color the deal a great deal differently.

+1 with what leedybdp said.

What is pictured is all there is I'm afraid...

What about shipping your amp head and/or his drums?

As a drummer, amp repairman, home studio owner, and also owner/restorer of a New Rock 50N, I feel qualified to chime in here.

One thing we have no idea about is the make/model of those cymbals. If there's nice pair of New Beats or a 20" Avedis Medium Ride they could tilt the deal in the positive direction.

The hi-hat stand and bass pedal are original, which is cool. Cymbal stands are of the cheapest Taiwan had to offer a few years back. I like lightweight stands, though.

I would trade a '69 Silverface Bassman head for that kit and that hardware and stands in a heartbeat, but I can also do drum restoration work up to the level of fixing bearing edges on my router table if they are off.

Value on your Bassman head drops if it has not yet had its power supply caps replaced. At age 38 it will be in need of a cap job if it hasn't had one. That's about $125 or so in repair work.

gonetroppo, do you at least have a drummer friend who will help you with the work of putting it together properly and tuning it and so forth?

It looks like most of the pieces are there at least to have a fully intact, working drum set for visiting players to play. It's got a cool looking wrap except there is one tom tom where the wrap is somehow damaged. If you're okay with spending some time with some Nev-r-dull and some grease, shining up the hoops and lugs and lubricating the moving parts, I'd say it would make a very fine kit for a home studio, compact enough with the Set-O-Matic mount on that 20" bass drum.

You will be learning that a drum kit, ANY used drum kit, will mean a few trips down to a music store (or orders online) and/or hardware store to obtain little odds and ends like a tuning key, cymbal nuts, felts, a bass drum spur screw that got lost on the way home, tension rods, etc. It's the nickel-and-dimiest friggin' purchase. All of these things are obtainable, though.

Mine records very well using my take on the "Recorderman" OH placement, with the addition of an SM57 on the snare batter and a Peavey PVM 580i (if ever a secret weapon there was) on the kick batter. Pan the OH's about 75%, compress them about 6db at about 7:1 ratio hard knee, use a stereo goniometer to get the image down the center, and then work in the snare and kick tracks to taste if you even need to.

And do NOT cut a hole in that beautiful logo head. I get a great kick sound with both my heads intact, no laundry, the front one muffled with a felt strip. Rear one is a Superkick II. Some engineers need to cut a hole in the drum head. I do not.

Another factor to consider is that the Fender Bassman heads of the same variety are much more plentiful in good condition than a duplicate of this drum set in condition as shown or better.

Additional pictures needed. The snare appears to be a ten lug Super Sound King with the dual super strainer not the standard Krupa snare that came with the 50N kit. The wrap on one of those rack toms is probably not salvageable.

There's nothing wrong about being a novice at drum restoration or not knowing very much about vintage drums. But, please....................................if you want good advice, we need good pictures.
