If the mounts on the FT are original, and it has a speckled grey interior, you are looking at 1978. Five ply shells. 750 for all that is shown is not a bad price. Drawback is .. concert toms. Those reduce the desireability of the set. Get them for 500 if you can. The concert toms can be converted.

Thanks! I'll try to go and see them then I'll know. If the snare is from the same year.. should it be COB?

Snare is 10 lug. Bottom rim shows Dynasonic, shell is COB. Ask about snare rail on the snare.

Thanks! I've talked to the guy. He wouldn't understand what I'm talking about.

Well, make an appointment to go see them. Maybe he is not a drummer and knows nothing about drums. Once you are there, ask to go online and show him the correct parts, if any are missing, and explain that concert toms, no bottom heads, are not as desirable as two headed drums, and if the snare rail is missing, that is about a $125 hickey, so 500 is spot on.

Thanks. I was hoping it's a 20" BD but it's 22". I might ask if I could buy only the snare.
