This was mine, and the most beautiful drum set. Sold it about six years ago, now I wish that I hadn't. Absolutely pristine Leedy Red Ripple.

Bought these from Mark Cooper.They are are a very close match to the used set I bought in April,1964.Never thought I would see another.Thank you,Mark!

This picture shows the bottom floor tom lugs better.The pic of my 1964 purchased set in another thread.Trying to figure out why my original had zephyr lugs on the bottom of the floor tom.

Now that I have one, here is a snare drum that came from the estate of jazz/be-bop legand Joe Harris. It is as clean as you could possibly find. He'd had the snare lever bent in a way to make it sort ot low profile, and he kept a calfskin head on the batter side. Sounds unbelievable. Something about these drums....electricit

Here's some pics of my dreadnoughts which are currently for sale! Group Hug

wow. Had I known I would have bought it! Those are super cool!

These were in absolute ruin when i brought em back and so much so i had them modified. I'll catch hell from someone but they sound warm and full with a tunable head on the bottoms. Date stamp Sept 1944.

For your viewing pleasure - a nice, little L&S (Leedy and Sons / Strupe) snare!

LameLameLameLameHmmmmNot really sure why I posted many pictures and comments on the same set!Didn't think I was losing it but this makes me wonder.Please excuse the duplication.Shall I post the pic again so you can see what set I was talking about?

Stunningly beautiful! You don't get any more 60's vibe than that.
