Man oh man ... you are one seriously blessed man. Nice kit. I love that these kits have found you.

Does your 75's have that sweet sharp edge or the modified transition early 70's edge or the rounded 60's edge? Just curious.

These are pics of the FT batter edge.
The edges are very shallow..... lots of head contact.
The floor is darn near bass like in tone.

5 ply. Dang. I am doing a goofy little study on the edges of the Slingy drums from these time periods to try and figure out what was going on. Just something to occupy the mind while the voices sleep in there.

I plead a fifth ... though I don't drink. Well, that's my story.

These are the transitional looking edge. Yours is a bit thicker and may make the diff. I would imagine calf would sound great on that kit.

I've got to try that out....
I've got the 13s from the Windsor outfit.... perhaps a trial run with some 55 year-old skins is in order !
