This is great! Where did you find this?

The original 22 13 16, with supra, I bought in 1977 for $100. In mint condition. The other half, I bought about a year ago on ebay when I saw the bass drum had the same 520xxx serial number as mine. (What are the odds?) When I received the ebay kit, it even had the same date stamp as mine. The third floor tom, I also found on ebay. It was with an orphan kit with 2 FTs, so I flipped the kit for the same amount I paid for it, and kept the FT, (also a close matching number.) The 67 snare was also purchased on ebay, I just restored it and added pure sound wires. I also have a 65 WMP mint jazz fest, and two 65 WMP pioneers.

Thanks guys,

here's another view.

I play them every day, and give my 27 year old son lessons on them every Monday. During the lesson I play the 62 SKBs in the background of the pic. My son has an 80s Ludwig WMP 22 10 12 14 16, 6 1/2 supra, that I gave him in the late 90s, at his house.

Last year I was fortunate enough to play the 67 WMPs in a Colosseum, with professional mics, and PA system. I was told the drums sounded "awesome"

It was very enjoyable.

They are all original wraps, I was just blessed to find the exact matching serial numbers.
