Thanks guys,

I must admit that this one is exceptionally clean and the Champagne sparkle finish is in superb condition.

As mentioned in the introduction, the set used to have a second 12" tom.

Unfortunately, the left tom disappeared so for a righthand player, this set was left with a tom where the badge is facing backward. That's probably the reason why I managed to get this set reasonably priced.

The grommet isn't very tight so for the pictures, I carefully rotated the badge 180°.

Of course, once engaged, the tone control would dampen the bottom head but who needs a muffler on these beautiful resonant shells. On a 4-piece set, I usually mount the rack-tom on a snare stand anyhow so again, I'm not to bothered with the whole issue.

Last Saturday I gigged them and the reaction was quite overwhelming I must say. A killer sound and knock out looks !

Who knows, one day I might find the missing 12" or find a replacement.

Those are super nice. I wish I could find a silver sparkle Camco floor tom to complete my set. I am using a 16"x16" 1973 Silver sparkle Gretsch with mine.

At least they are all Jasper shells.
