I am sooo jealous. I am very interested in hearing the story behind the acquisition of your bop sets. Do you primarily buy through auction? Private party sales? Garage sales? Internet searches?

Again thanks everybody for the kinds words surrounding this black RB bop kit.

My secret to owning such amazing bop kits has nothing to do with tons of money because it's been nothing but a passion for jazz, the right timing and extreme luck the whole time. I said this before, I started collecting nice vintage American jazz kits in the late 1980s way before the internet and back then good kits were easy to track down and cheap.

What a super little set. Those little scratches you mentioned are rarely noticed in a nitron black. That is class all the way. I can see that set next to a Ebony baby grande piano. With the musicians in a black tux.

What an incredible and beautiful kit. I'm not sure how it could get any better than this one. Absolutely gorgeous.

I agree. And love the photography too!
