Zildjian K Istanbul / Ajax Drum Kit

Loading...

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeJoaPJpeYY&list=UUmNo-fbTzk83JulQnfbCJGA"]For Vintage Drum Forum - YouTube[/ame]

these are photos of my drum kit - cannot upload photos at the minute but they were last reviewed as 'old stamp'.

I would love to get these drums dated and possibly valued as they are now going up for sale based in the Essex/UK area.

Thanks! guitar3

As far as I know, the blue square badge was introduced in 1957 and was replaced later, around mid-1960s. Now the measurements of your set look like 20 x 18” bass, 12 x 8” and 16 x 18” toms, a Pipper snare and 6 and 7.5” bongos - if so (and provided this is a matched set and not patchwork from different sets), then it's most probably the Command Performance kit from 1959 in what they called pastel green Pearl Necralaque, a top-of-the-line kit endorsed at the time by guys like Ronnie Verrell, Phil Seamen, Kenny Clare, Bobby Kevin and loads more.

As to the value... it depends. This is not fully original (e.g. the floor tom is a Premier), but you could still get a good amount if the rest is matched and unmodified.

Hi,

Are you thinking of selling only the drums, or the cymbals as well?

Cheers!

Just a few images of a kit I'm putting back to its former glory ..Note: the Evans 360 heads are for playing ...I have retained the originals (where they weren't moth eaten calfskin)
