Nah its not mine. I've got the Acrylic RoyalStars and the 67 Boston WMP with the two floor toms, I have enough for now. I actually I have little room left they're two of six drumsets. And thats not counting two others I use sitting in two different studios. But I still like to look.

Sad to see this chrome (COW) kit in such a poor condition.Hurting

The chrome wrap cannot be saved any more (I tried to polish some

dents and scratches out of mine and that was impossible).

It's only worth the wood shells and has to be rewrapped.

Also the tom mount fixing wing screws are not original - I assume

that someone has rethreaded it (now with a bigger diameter).

In this status I wouldn't even spend $ 100 for it.

The wrap is ****ed isn't it? Luckily that chrome wrap is easy to come by and would be a match indistinguishable from the original. I'd say the rethreading is too minor to be of much concern. It has the rounder lugs which Jonni will agree are less desirable, not to mention no matching snare, however the snare is a decent item in itself. If I had a lazy $1000 + postage lying around as a collector I might consider it. But at the moment way too dear. It'd have to be $200 max. Then there's postage. The wrap probably $400. And the time and effort getting it presentable. There's a grand in itself.

Hows that hihat stand though!

It has Beavertail lugs. I've not seen those type of Star lugs yet. If I were in Oz, I'd have to make an offer on those and figure a way to do some majik on them./ 200 is all the money. Evberything on this kit says "I'm Bad!"...Nice, too bad the wrap sux, but like I said, Majik would work somehow...

Yeah but you just buy the kits to seperate and sell off as parts don't you? For some people there's more to a drumset than a dollar value.
