Nice find! Looks like a Downbeat kit, which is even better. By the way, the shorter L-rod goes with the small tom, and the longer one goes to the cymbal mount. Unless you want it the other way. Welcome

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Yeah that looks kind of strange on the cymbal holder, great for pics but that'll fall apart when you play them. KUDOS, dude on the clean up. that is remarkable![/FONT]
Currently working on a 7 piece virgin double bass 3 ply early 70's Ludwig kit to be wearing....MOD ORANGE.

What are the sizes? From that photo it almost looks like 12-14-18, in which case would be quite rare. Either way, great score/save from the gutter!

thanks gang!
I swapped the hardware back around after pics, mounted some heads last night and played them a touch.
Wow what a tone!
Sizes are 13,16,20.
I really want to add a 12 mounted and a 14 floor tom.
More Pics tonight, I forgot to upload them last night.
Im picking up my 70's Zildjian New Beat hi-hats tonight as well. So excited!

my zildjian guy bailed on me twice...damn craigslist time wasters.
I did retune all the drums and am VERY happy with them now. That tiny bass drum sounds great!
A strip o fabric front and rear and a ported front head gives the nicest tone, with just a bit of punch to it.
That 13" tom sounds great! What a rich bright sound.
My snare auction ends sunday, hope I win!!!

Man, wish my Keystone Silver Sparkles had those clear interiors instead of those crummy white painted ones that look worse every year - will never paint them though.

i was amazed how clean the wood was inside! The bass drum has a bit of environmental staining but thats it!
Picked up some Gel Gloss polish for the shells.
