Hey, thanks... I learned something new today...

BTW, congrats on the 66 Prez kit! That is a nice, early kit and finding it in your neck of the woods, great job!

It was my cousin's... He bought it after getting out of Vietnam... Brought it back from Japan... It's in good shape and I enjoy playing it... I put natural skins on it and it has a real nice sound...

Just picked up an absolute cherry set of Presidents on Sunday... They are in perfect condition... Came with hard cases and Avedis Zildjians (a 20' medium "Dance" ride; an 18' medium "Dance" crash-ride and a set of 14" hi-hats)... Bought everything for $200.00... I think they are '69, but I don't know for sure--- They are the brown fiberglass/wood? shells with the "coffin" lugs... 22 inch bass; champagne-gold sparkle wrap... and the snare is literally the best I've evr played.
