What a beautiful kit!

I own a similar 5 piece set that I have owned since new (1969). Ludwig Oyster Blue Pearl is the best finish ever!

Don't ever sell these - but if you have to - contact me first.

I hope you are still playing these drums.

Take Care

Wow, That is my son's birthday, only 7.21.00. If you ever decide to let them go, and it happens to be around that time....

His first kit is like many of ours, an old Japanese, not a Chinese, like so many today.
