The exact age I am not sure of. But from what I can tell they have seen a few years. I have a 20 inch med ride with a kind of dark jazzy tone, 16 med crash and 14 hi-hats they definetly sound like they belong together in harmony. Also they appear to have been purchased together or at least the same vintage. There are no cracks or keyholes from contact with the stand. I am looking to sell them all as a set. I will take any reasonable offer over $200.00.
