Top class batch of drums. Gosh im so jealous. The way you have documented the fade is absolutely fab. Doesnt get much better than ludwig & leedy even though i am a premier guy. If you have this many class green sparkle drums bet you have lots more fade examples. These are the threads that i love reading.....Well done, thanks for sharing.......sean

So the summer and Autum drums

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

“then comes the Autumn which delights in burning God’s green into warm gold, falling and melting back into the black soil.”

Great photo.
