Just finished this Pearl Set, i think it´s a President from the 60s! It was a lot of work. Rusty Parts, the wrap was broken in some places, broken threads and a lot of missing parts....but now it´s back as a cool Gigkit!
Just wanted to share my happiness with you guys;-)
Enjoy the pics!
regards
And more pics:-)
I have the exact same kit - with the exception of the color. I believe mine was the same color, but darkened over time. OR mine is a different color altogether. I believe I had it figured out at one time that mine was 'Charcoal Pearl' as opposed to BDP.
See attached pics to give you an idea.
Very nice. I have never thought much of using that little cast receiver for a double mount. A single is enough weight and torque when playing it.
Excellent job bringing these beauties back to life! They look great and I hope you enjoy them!

Ye, very nice work. The drums are really beautiful.
Nice kit. I have a similar kit. My shells are the brown painted ones inside tho. Never could find the matching snare for it
For some reason it didn't attach the pics.

Thank you guys for your kind words about my work, i enjoy that:-) you guys know how much work it is to bring kits like this back to live!
@Drummerjohn333
i think the wrap of mine kit was a lot darker when it was new. It´s like you said, black charcoal!
@jimpercusion
Very nice Set you have there:_)
What i would like to know; Is it possible that this orphans are made of birchwood?
Because the color is very light and the surface of the wooden shells is very smooth. They don´t look feel and sound like Luan at all? Would somebody know something?
