From Creighton

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.Creighton

Really appreciate all the updates Creighton, massive thanks

Anything is possible with Slingerland. 20" bass just has a great punch. Any back history on the drums? Could very well be a special order and will not match any cataloged kits. If you get them will be smiles for years playing same.

Creighton

Nothing special here but I like them.

Remember too that catalogs do not set things in stone. Manufacturers often used the same artwork for years on things that in actuality may have had some details changed as production methods and product lines evolved. That artwork cost money so they didn't necessarily pay to have new illustrations or photos done to reflect every little change. Sometimes there were long gaps between catalogs when new products were available but not cataloged right away. Also catalogs sometimes came out considerably earlier than the cover date (sort of like car model years). Catalogs are helpful, and one of the best resources we now have, but they don't necessarily tell the whole story.

Thanks Creighton...only that they were imported by a friend and then the F/T/ hoops changed to the more attractive script hoop so sure all now 100%

Diamond This configuration is a Gene Krupa 1N kit. It has been rebadged. The grommet isn't factory. Do you have this kit in your possession now to look at ?If so are there any extra holes inside the shells?

Your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me. ! John Henry Bonham !!
