Japanese drums of the 60's had great wraps. Nice looking set.

Thanks for sharing. Your kit looks brand new. The wrap reminds me of my Slingerland Red Tiger kit.
If it sounds as great as it looks it's a definite "keeper!"
thanks for the kind comments. It's really more a credit to the condition of the kit before i even started pulling apart. It was in fine, unmolested condition. Never been taken apart either. It's pretty well made too. The shell quality is a big step up from my other MIJ kits.
They will get a good run out over the coming weeks - lots of gigs on at the moment.
If anyone is restoring one of these kits and needs any parts I may be able to help. This kit came with all the parts off another similar kit. There is already one forum member interested in the BD tom mount (just needs a tom now). I also have a clean 13" tom (see pic) in orange from the same vintage if someone needs one to complete a set. I'm not actively trying to sell this stuff it's just there should someone have a genuine need.
i have access to a 14x14 floor tom this year with this (red) wrap!...half the badge missing...otherwise complete!
I Love them!
I had a set of these same drums in high school. I wish I'd never sold them.
Cool!
We all have tales of stuff we wish we hadn't sold. But you can't keep it all and the $$ were probably useful at the time.
