These are my Black Diamond Pearl babies. They've been on the road with me longer than any of the others. Though I've had the '76 kit much longer. She came to me for $695, WITH an Istanbul K. :) Not to mention the snare that was with it was a '62 Acrolite prototype. (pics in snare section shortly)

Nothing makes me happier than drum scores!

The floor tom was a trashed FEPOS and I got a era-close one in BDP off ebay. It was in BAAAAD shape. The hardware still is pretty rough. The wrap cleaned up better than I would have ever expected. (though it's still a bit off to the trained eye)

The BDP pioneer came from eBay too. Next step Jazz Festival!
