My singer had these sitting in his garage for an unknown number of years and gave them to me to fix up. I re-cut the edges and polished them up the best I could and they sound incredible. I later added a MIJ floor tom of unknown origin but with matching wrap to make it a "full" kit.
St George Hollywood MIJ kit Last viewed: 11 minutes ago
Cool little kit!
I had a Stewart drumset in red parole berry simular.
It's a good thing those were stored with both heads on. The shells aren't very strong.
I'd suggest keeping the front hoop on the bass drum with the head cut just an inch from the edge if you want an open sound. It will help keep that bass in round.
Good save!

Of course! Here you go-before the cleaning
Thanks sir.
For some reason, I have been cataloging all the MIJ kits.
Thanks to Mr. Jerry Jenkins
well if you would like any more info or shots of the drums, like the interiors or the edges, I have plenty. Let me know.
My first kit was a used 4 pc St George Hollywood kit in purple diamond pearl. It came with an 18" crash and a pair of 14" HH, all Ludwig by Paiste.
A kit named after the Saint George? How cool is that?
Beautiful, classic drums.
