IMO, Klook is to drumming what Charlie Parker is to saxophone... the most seminal, influential innovator on his instrument in jazz of the 20th century.

Ok guys. Here's some more pics. I have to put them in several posts due to the 6 picture limit....

So I have the complete original hi-hat stand, half of an original cymbal stand (other half may be at my brothers house) and a bass drum pedal that doesn't appear to be original, but it is a Premier. Any ideas on that?

Also, I took pics of the lugs (i think thats what they're called) from the floor tom. I'm confused on that because if you look at the catalogues from '68 and up, the lugs are much pointier. If you look at the ones on my floor tom, they're more like the lugs froom '63 or so. Kinda strange. What are your thoughts?

Thanks again....

Yes, the lugs date it back to earlier times in the 60s.

The hihat model was called '289', can be seen in the 1961 and the 1963 catalogue, the bottom part of the cymbal stand as well.

The bass drum pedal is later: can be seen in the 1975 catalogue (model 1251).

I love pedals with a strap instead of a chain ...

If those hardware parts belong to the original kit, I'd date it back to the early 60s, and the pedal was a later substitution.
