I bought this kit in pieces from various sources and refinished it myself. I was lucky to find the shells in pristine condition. The bass drum and 16x18 floor tom were covered in black panther finish, and the 14x10 tom and 16x16 tomm were found on ebay already stripped down to the shell. How lucky was that? The kit is a Ludwig 1970 Bonham kit. It's 3 ply clear maple interior shells with a 26x14 kick drum with rail consolette and cymbal mount, a 14x10 mounted tom (12 lugs) 16x16 and 16x18 floor toms. I also play a 6.5x14 supraphonic snare drum, so I have as close to the great John Bonham's recording kit as possible. I use it for gigs where we play unmiked and it sounds huge. Very fun to play. Hope you enjoy the pic.
