I've never seen this color, even in ploughman's collection picture. Unless I overlooked it. Legit?

That is a do over. One color......... honey maple. Now if they did not mess up the interior, or screw with the edges.... if you could get it really cheap. But no, it isn't original finish.

Not really. Was asking more out of curiosity/educational reasons. It was up on a Facebook page for sale and something just didn't seem right. I appreciate the offer though.

Ploughman, is that batter hoop Rogers? The hoop ears aren't pinched as tightly as on the bottom snare hoop.

And I kinda' like that red stain. It's something different than the old natural Honey stain we're so used to seeing.

Top hoop is not Rogers. It is a crappy stain job. And they went over the badge with the finish. At lest it looks like it to me. Turned a 500.00 drum into a 150.00 drum. And you still do not know how badly it has been molested on the edges.
