VERY NICE!!! Great job, Kevin. The kit looks great. Nice period hardware. Love the snare. How tough was it to replace the pedal strap? Who was the supplier of the new piece? I'm thinking about doing the same job on a pedal. Dang! Nice kit.

I got the strap here, it's a Rogers, but fits almost perfectly, just a tad wide, but works very well.

Thanks for the kind words... now that a few pics have been posted, I'll start my search for the heads that suit my ears... probably start with a super kick for the bass and go from there.

Looks like that snare is a correct era '70s drum. Looks like it has the black / silver badge.

Thanks, Rich...

I have mis-quoted the date, sorry... the serial number, 37692 puts it, I think, around 1972 or so....

(I'm editing the original post.....)

I purchased it without the Leedy buttplate or Zoomatic strainer, and added them when I found them...

Still looking for two flush-based cymbal stands and I would like to add a hoop-mounted L-arm for a splash...don't want to drill any holes for a shell-mount.

Kev, I may have a vintage Slingy hoop clamp for cymbal arm if you need, but likely it'd be '50's or '60's. E-mail me....[/COLOR]

Cool Daddy-o!
