Thank you

P.S. The rims aren't bent, it's the darn wide angle lens on my camera.

You are right my friend, grey it is. This is actually my best friends drum, he is not a drummer. He has all sorts of weird stuff that he brings home from the local auction. What does this picture tell you?

I have the same kit but instead of yellow or gold like yours, mine is blue with black. It's a beginners kit, and it's not as old as I first thought, but a cool kit none the less.

Come on man give us some pictures!!! Yes, this drum has "beginner" written all over it. I am wondering if the strainer will have enough strength to work properly. Visually, the drum is really cool in my opinion and I would love to see pictures of yours. Thanks Backbeatkeeper.

This is the only picture I have at the moment, the bass drum head looks like crap, but here it is.....

Wow! That is super cool. Thank you for sharing. What do you mean by not as old as you once thought? The badge infers it is 50's right?
