White interior? Are you sure it's not "speckled grey"? Everything else sounds legit.

I'm no expert but I'd venture a realistic guess of $800-$1200 +/- depending on how bad someone wants a butcher block kit and it HAS to be your specific year (could be anywhere from 1972-1975). Pics would help...especially pics of the paper tags inside each drum.

speckled gray and white is what you are looking for int wise,in the U.S. the feaux wood finishes bring down the value quite a bit currently,the stigma being they are essentially formica which was used for counter tops etc,from what I have heard that is not as much of an issue in Europe, being 9/72 they could even be 3 ply rather than 5,either way great drums.Fullerton butcher block swivo's here would get closer to the 800.00 1000.00 I think,the seller would get more if he sold the dyna separately ,if complete 275.00 ish here in the States.

Yup.

Depending on how bad someone wants it. Id say realistically $750 cash in the current "market" if they are in excellent shape. Unfortunate, especially when a Pearl "Vision" 5 piece "Rock" set up SHELL PACK sells for $750 plus tax at your local mega chain. For shells only.

Your drums are WAY better than that. Hold on to them until people start paying for quality drums again! I dont know that butcher block will ever be popular, but then again I never thought 80's fashion would be popular with hipsters either.

Thanks to all for the expertise, I appreciate. As I said, I do not want to sell it, this was my first drum kit I am very fond on this kit.

I presume that if I remove the formaica covering on drums and try to work, with an expert artisan the shells, my durm would be not considered vintage, right?

BTW, the paper sticker inside the bass drum shows 9/72.

Right Adam: grey is the right colour!

Believe it or not, one of the kits I'm seeking is a 22,13,16 in this wrap. I like it. Strong and 'unique'.

Unbelievable! Anyway, I still use this kit to play, and it has a very good sound. From your point of view, which are the best skins to use? I use now pinstripe for batter and ambassador for bottom.

Thanks again

I would do a combination of Coated heads - Emp batter and Amb reso. That's just me, though. I would lay into that kit fairly heavy and the Emps would bring out just enough low end. I have the same setup in Red Onyx (1967) and I'm running Evans G2s on the batter and G1s as Reso. They seem to work well. I guess it depends on what you use the kit for. That kit is used for some fairly 'direct' rock. I have other kits for lighter stuff.

Mainly my use is for an instrumental brass band, so I do not need power, let's say this is a light work but I like the sound of the pinstripe. I had emperor on snare, now I prefer ambassador coated.
