That should be 18x20 for your badge.

I`m not Columbo but I find it extremely hard to scrub that wrap so clean and not get the badge patina on the edges too. You should have patina bleed onto the wrap, and if cleaned, unless the badge is removed, you can`t avoid not hitting it. That difference would show and I don`t see it.

That patina is about 5 minutes from turning green, and nothing on the wrap,....suspect.

Possible to see the inside of the BD ? I wanna see if that grommet has matching tool marks inside.

Well hard to tell from the photo's. Toms look nickel plate hardware. Bass hardware looks chrome and brighter wrap than toms. I would ask for many more photo's if considering buying these. Inside of the bass first off. Hope it is all good.

**Edit** have seen more photo's of this kit. FT just not as well cleaned as bass/tom. Nice set.

Nothing special here but I like them.

I saw all the close up pics, every drum is original with no mods, just very well cleaned. The FT is older than the other two and the BD pillow damage is not severe. Treatable.
