One of my favorite gigging kits. 8 out of 10. Not perfect but what a HUGE sounding small kit. Have the matching year correct Pioneer & Supra as well.

Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful drums as always Mark. Love the shield initials on the head as well.
That's a beauty!

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.
Caught myself re scrolling thru the pics..
That's a nice one..

A real beauty and a bit of extra rare with the disappearing spurs. Most of the Downbeats had folding spurs. Are those transition badges?

I wish! No standard keystone badges. The bass drum & floor tom are dated April 26 1965 while the tom is dated May 26 1965. I suppose you probably could have ordered with the disappearing spurs as opposed to the gull wings by the mid 60's. I have 2 Superbeat kits (20/13/16) with dual tom mufflers & dual disappearing spurs on the kicks from same year so I bet anything was possible if you had the coin.
