Asking a pretty penny but I don't know if I have seen another bass drum head as beautiful in my life. Just gorgeous.

That would be a part of a black elite kit missing the traps and the snare which would of been one of four sizes engraved with gold hardware

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

He said the drum was painted black, did someone paint over a wrap? I don't recall them painting drums back then? And something about that head isn't right. I know they used oil paints for the calf heads, that doesn't look like oil paint. Even the up close image is too smooth looking. Anyone else with me on that?

I agree. Looks too smooth, too perfect like a print. Doesn't look like any painted calf head I've ever seen but I could be wrong.

If it is indeed painted I'd want to see the backside of it. That's usually a good tell since oil paints are usually layered. So you would see the under colors. And yea generally oil paints have a textured look. I mean I grew up when Bob Ross was on PBS. I've seen many a happy tree and happy cloud be painted,lol.
