It took quite a few years, but I was able to restore and bring this kit back to its shinning moment.

If any of you ever have a chance to play on one of these drum kits, do so.

They have the most beautiful sound a drum can ever make.

14" x 7" Krupa Snare, Birds eye maple wood shell.

28" x 14" Bass drum, Mahogany with maple re-rings.

13" x 9" mounted tom, Mahogany with maple re-rings

14" x 12" suspended floor tom, Mahogany with maple re-rings

Beautiful drums! How about some snare pictures please? Would love to see it. Classic in WMP too. Your right these drums sound SO good. I play mine every day and just love them. Enjoy.

Very nice. I've got something very similar (wmp, nickel streamline lugs and clipped tom hoops) in 26/13/16 and I agree with you, the tone is amazing. Such a fun kit to play.

Crash - I have the identical set of drums to yours sitting in my basement as a project kit. I'd be interested to know when these were made as well. My kit is composed of the same drums, same color, same badges as yours. Identical in every detail. Hope you get a response...

Too many great drums to list here!
