Hmm, does that bass drum look like this color? I may be interested if so..

Well, the hard part is going to be finding a floor tom in the 14" catagory. I do know that you can use some of the larger power toms for one, if you don't mind doing the work. Legs for generic work are cheap enough, you buy decent used ones for 15 or so, and then order those bad little Pearl footies, ot the Gibraltars, those little air boots. I have a pile of leg mount brackets if you need some. Is this a 3 or 9 ply kit? The 12 will be a 6 ply if not a 3 ply/rings. The bass could be 7,8 or 9, if not 3 ply/rings. Let's see them,. These new cameras are point and click. And if they are too big, go here: http://www.picresize.com/ and follow the instructions.

Gary; That does look like my drums.

Jonnystix; There are no rerings. The interior looks like mud. The wood where the divot is looks like luan maybe.The badge is oval, with a red P.

Ahh, Pearl....nice older version. Well, they are certainly lauan. Probably 9 ply. A good sanding of the interior and some lacquer will seal it up for a really warm sound. I use 100 then 220. No need to get really super into sanding, just enough to smooth out the grain and close the pores up some. Both shells will benefit from it, if you want to mess with lacquer. Even if no painting is in your future, the sanding would help, and the edges should be smoothed anyway for an easier tuning. This is not to change the contour, rather to give the collar a smoother fit and make it easier to slip and slide over the edges for smoother tuning. I burnish in wax on mine, they really move nicely then.

Are thise your "tip jars"? Dang, where are you playin'?

No, Jonni....LOL Those were catching water from the roof leaking. That was a first time gig with an old high school friend for a Xmas party at a hot rod garage. It rained all day, a rare occurnace in So. Calif. We finally found a spot where the rain didn't hit my kit. This was also the first time I used my late 60's Istanbul K ride for a gig, it was a beauty.

Tom, if your bass drum is a match, I'd be willing to trade a MIJ kit with a floor that needs a little work for yours, or something else. I've been looking high and low for a kit to match mine to make a double bass Belleson set-up. Let me know
