Found this through a local Craigslist ad. Someone was cleaning out a storage unit which had several drum items and this was part of it. It was kept in a case with two large silica packets for who knows how long. When I opened the case for the first time my jaw dropped. Not one speck of rust! I just gave the chrome a quick cleaning to take care of some finger smudges and the aluminum doesn’t have a scratch on it that I can find. I believe the barely played heads are even original with the old Weather Master ink stamps. Heck, even the tension rod washers are original! The only flaw I found at this point is the batter hoop has a small crack by one of the tension rod holes. I can tension and tune it but I don’t know how long it will last. Even with that, it was still an excellent find.
