I should have posted these pictures a long time ago. Well, better late than never! This kit was a 67-69 Whitehall (Pearl) in beautiful Red Glass Glitter. I upgraded the mounts with Ludwig, as no additional holes were required. I left the original rail on the bass drum, but installed the Ludwig upper portion. All-in-all, a beautiful kit. I listed it on eBay and it sold for $330. Received an email from the buyer asking if he could come by and pick them up, as he lived in Los Angeles. Turns out the buyer was non other than John "Bermuda" Schwartz...drummer for legendary Weird Al Yankovic! I was completely stoked when John came over. We spent a fun hour together talking drums. I questioned why would he buy this MIJ kit when he could have pretty much any high-end kit he desired. The answer? John started out with a Ludwig kit and never had the fun of an MIJ kit. John said mine was the cleanest and nicest kit he'd seen! Thanks Bermuda!!!
Hope you all enjoyed my little story and the Whitehall kit!
