Thanks Calf, thats really good info to have.
Those heads are really expensive and I really dont think I'm going to do a full bore restoration on this set......it would cost too much, and I'd never recoup it.
Rather, I'll give all the drums and hardware a good cleaning and polishing and change the hoops all around in order for it to use standard 13 inch heads and 22 inch for the bass.
I probably will replace all the tension rods on the snare and tom with shiny new Sonor ones tho, that will make a big diffference.
It will look about 1,000X better after a cosmetic resto.
Oddball:
Thats very close to my set, VERY close. My bass drum uses the long rods and not the lugs, same as the pic.
But my snare drum is not as deep, and mine has the mount on the bass drum for the tom tom rod. Also, the cymbal mount is off to the side on mine, not in the middle.
And mine has actual metal badges that screw into the shells. In the pic, I believe those are just painted on.
Other than that, they are the same. The one in the pic you posted is in BEAUTIFULL shape tho. Mine isnt....:)
