So, I just found this vintage Baxter kit, with what looks to be a Hoshino badge.. Standard 12-13-16-22 and 10 lug bass drum.. Spoke to the seller and he was nice enough to offer to deliver the drums for me, seeing as how i have no car and he's a good 40 minutes away. At $50 Cdn. price can't be beat, and that's with delivery included !!.;)
Don;t know much about some of these Baxter kits, but i have read mixed feelings about them.. I'll clean them up, put some fresh heads on them, and will gig them for Grand Prix weekend next week to see how they sound.. If they don't have that vintage mojo, it'll be flipping time .. Hopefully the bearing edges will be ok. I'll probably clean them up and lightly sand and wax if they're not too bad..
Any thoughts on these drums are appreciated
