And they look a lot better than a lot of similar sets I've seen for the era. No separation or bubbling of the over-wrap. No scuffs, or extra holes, etc. Completely stock.

Some minor pitting of the chrome and some rust on the bass' legs. Polish the chrome, repaint the hoops and re-attach the inlay and you are good to go.

Attached is a picture of me on Christmas morning 1965 with the drums....

I ended up buying this kit on eBay a month ago. It was only online a short time. The condition is better then described. It's like it came out of the factory and showed up in 2018. I'd say this may be one of the best condition club dates in existence. It's in a good home now. Funny, I just ran across this thread randomly, don't spend much time online anymore. I found a matching champaign sparkle jazz fest snare to match on eBay in similar mint condition. Thank you Chris for the chance to own and play these. I'm keeping the original heads that came with it (mind blown) but put new coated ambassadors on. They sing like out of a 1960's blue note record.

Hey Dingaling,

Let's see some pictures! Especially with the claim of the nicest Club dates around!
