AVOID at that price!!! no no no...

Those are cheapy imports and are not what you would call 'good' drums. They don't sound great and are cheaply built. A nice Yamaha from the late 60's to mid 70's would be a much much much better kit if you're set on an import.

so far he's about $484.00 short of his hoping price and he has no reserve price set, if you can get em for $100.00 and to use em as a gigging kit, you could do worse.

How can you guys tell an import sling from domestic?

They have an aroma of stale rice.

...and the hardware, and the bass mounts, and the tags, and the shell construction, and the wraps/finishes, and again, they smell like old rice.

At first glance I would agree with the group-but-stick saver rims-wood BD hoops.Ask for a serial number on the badge.That will tell all.Badges should have Chicago-Niles-USA etc.The later Slingys should have those giant batwing tightening screws on the tom mounts.

Not a hundred percent of the time. It also depends on 'who' was putting 'em out at the time. These are imports.

Listing states 577536...... 1985 ??

This is a Spirit series kit. The hardware, tag, serial number, shell, and wrap puts it there. That's a nine ply mahogany (cheapy) shell. Again, it's nowhere near worth that price.
