Excellent piece. Keep up the great work!

Not from 1976, maybe 1986. The Pearl style tom mounts and that style of bass drum spurs put the kit more in the realm of a 1980's kit and probably one of the lower priced lines as well, like the Spirits. Probably not a bad sounding set but not worth as much as a top of the line set of the same vintage.

Those newer Pearl tom/bass mounts were added. You can see the original SOM mount on the bass and tom still and extra holes in the toms. May have had a few types of mounts over the years? Also newer bass spurs and floor tom legs/mounts. I see a re ring in the bass so 3ply drum there. Given those mods it seems a bit high price wise. Worth a look see and see if you can get for a much better price. Agree in the B8's. Not real great cymbals but ok starter stuff. The snare looks like a nice COB 3 line Krupa. Are you in CT?

Yes I'm in Connecticut and I'm trying out the set tomorrow

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm definitely going to be posting here alot in the next couple of months as I look for my forever set.

Oops, that's what happens when you look at tiny pictures on your phone with 50 something eyes. So a bit of butchery has been done but they would be good drums. The wrap would be real sheet metal glued to the shell which is a turn off for some. You do have to be concerned with both rust and dents but these look to be in decent shape. The wrap can be removed but I understand it's quite a job since they used a different type of glue. If you like the chrome finish then probably a nice player's set.

No worries KO I figured that was the case. Your always 100% spot on. I do the same thing looking at pics on my phone and old man eyes. :) Even on my PC I sometimes use a mag glass to see things clearly.

I'm checking it out in an hour any tips on things to look for in the set it how to try it out?
