Probably this is funny for you guys in Usa or West Europe,but here in Serbia is hard to find some vintage hardwer and to be functional.So,this is my first vintage hardware set:
Hollywood Meazzi hi hat stand
Premier Olympic cymbal stand
Premier 250S pedal
Amati snare stand
hope you like it,have a nice day

Dule, if you like it and intend to use this hardware, it is a great set! I'm sure it will prove most functional. Most of us did not start on perfectly matched and beautifully preserved vintage hardware. At least I didn't! Good for you!

I have a Hollywood hi hat just like yours that I just got around 4 mths ago........I love it!
The chrome is ex...........you should polish yours if you haven't already.......it will shine like a mirror!
I had a Premier pedal like that in around 1976.........it wasn't the best............
That Premier pedal is "arguably" the best pedal made in the '60s. (I'm sure some of you Speed King nuts would really want to "argue" about that one Falling DoFalling Do). Anyway, many of the rock drummers who did not swear by the Speed King swore by the Premiers. I've got one myself, and I'm a Ludwig collector! My favorite rock 'n' roll drummer Gary Driscoll used only a Premier pedal with his mahogany Ludwig three-ply 14-16-18-26 and wore a ballet slipper on his right foot!
I like the shape of the footboard,..What`s that hang`n from the crossbar,..a counterweight ??
Thank you all for your replies
