Help Identifying a Vintage Kit

Loading...

Those pictures are huge, how the heck do people do that? I personally do not like the huge pics, you just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

But, looks like a nice kit with some hoops missing, do you have them?


Thank you!

I added some photos, hope that helps. Is there some specific way to ship drums if I have to? I assume I could just bubble wrap them real good in boxes.

I would consult with a local drum shop if you have one nearby and ask them for advice regarding shipping. Or take to a UPS shipping location.

I don't know why they're so big, his roommate must have his phone on like the highest possible pic resolution :o

I'm pretty sure that's all the drum-related items there are in the house.

Thank you to all. From looking at other ebay auctions, I'd guess around 2k is even a stretch given the wear and tear.

It is in rougher shape, however it is also one of the more popular wraps today.

Try to find as many of the original parts from the set as you can.

If you are unsure if something is vintage or original to the set, just ask us.

This is a fine example of a haight ashbury type set. More nostalgia worth than museum quality.

This set makes me want to get an overhead projector and play some Big Brother!

I suggest at least listing it locally. You can always turn down an offer that is not to your liking. Shipping and ebay fees suck.

I noticed some claws on the bass drum are not original, as well as maybe some t-rods..

This may drop the value of the drums, but not by much..However, i'm in accordance with the one member who said that if the resonant side hoops were off the drum, that may mean that the drum bearing edge my have some damage or not be in the round..I would have a drum expert in your area take a look at the drums first before determining the value.. In museum, showroom condition, this kit would fetch at least $2800, with original hardware and cymbals, maybe a bit more.. I would also sell locally..Saves you time and money on shipping..

I with hobbs, with the rack up top and you hit`n it, the shell could have a memory now, but that simple kind is easy to correct.

You got all the hard parts, just wanna ask about the fT legs. There isn`t much showing above the mount and it`s not way up in the sky, Are they too short ?

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

Appears to be a Downbeat set like Ringo's first two sets. If that floor tom is a 14" it is worth $750 to $1000+ all by itself. Everything looks a bit rough but not terribly so. Some TLC would go a long way towards bringing up the value.
