They are well used:-) but they are also cool:-)

Will be loads of work to bring them back to life, but i am sure thats the fun on this one;-)

These are birch shells as far as i can see:-)

I'm curious if and how you're gonna fix that rack tom's wrap.

I guess I eventually will but I havent decided how yet. Any suggestions?

I guess wait for a fitting piece of wrap to come a long. looks loke grey ripple. maybe you could buy it new.

Or if you want to make a players kit, rip a piece of wrap from the bottom of the bass drum (I hope I'm not saying somthing very indecent here....)

I what country are you? I know a dutch guy seling a beverley 13' having the same wrap. but not the same hole spacing.

A friend of mine got a kit like that,in green silk,I took them apart and the shells were top notch,in round and bearing edges were perfect,I think premier had the best edges of all the companies of that era,might want to check to see if they are pre international sizes,my friends were.

Haven't checked if they are pre international sizes but I'm guessing they aren't because they have modern heads on them already. As for the wrap, there isn't enough overlap underneath to cut a piece out unless I just cut a piece anyway and have the wrapless hole on the bottom instead of the tom, if that's what you meant?

I am working on getting some replica wrap done, there was a dude on the forum who brought back a basket case luddy phsyco kit to life with replica wrap using a digital printing process, A good mate of mine in our town has got me started on this, he is a drum restorer and collector. It's early days, my first attempt is a tiger pearl wrap on a battleship lug kit, the bass drum is with a photographer atm to get a good digital image and then I will go from there, this process, if possible won't work with glitters or sparkles only a flat image.Not sure of the outcome but it will soak up some orphan drums to blend with others that have authentic wraps, without rewrapping or hunting down original wrapped drums.

@ Wado, yes that's what I meant. quite crude, but if it were my kit and I wanted to make a players kit out of it I wouldnt mind.

I really think it is a very good deal, one of my friend got a similar one but is not as good as this still cost him the same price!~
