Hey Guys,
Found this on Craigslist locally at a Pawn Shop (in which the owner is a drummer, so I stop by there lots anyway). These were just too unique to pass up.
13/16/22 with matching 14" snare. All 3-ply with re-rings. The shells and wrap are all in great shape. Everything is all original. It came with everything you see pictured for $250. It came with a vintage style snare stand (that looked nickel)-similar to the way the Hamilton snare stands today look. I gave that to my good buddy (and fellow forum member) nailfoxx for his "finders fee". He's the one that sent me the email about these. Thanks buddy! I substituted a Yamaha snare stand I had laying around for the photos.
I thought $250 was a good deal considering:
A) The matching snare was present
B) Great condition; all original parts. 8 lug snare, floor tom and bass drum.
C) Useable (if not re-sellable) "extras"
D) The bass drum hoops are not only wood, but both of the inlays are present and intact! Doesn't it always seem like a rare finish wrap notoriously has one or both of the inlays missing? I got lucky on this one!
The last pic is them in the daylight, just loaded up in the car!
What is the correct term for this wrap? Tiger Pearl? Gold Onyx?
I can't wait to clean these up and play them! I wanted to share my score with all of my VDF friends.
