the tom brackets were probably lost when the original owner sold the kit without the RIMS mounts. I imagine the brackets went with the RIMS I actually picked the kit up at a pawn shop but said "somebody in my neihborhood" to throw off other vintage gear hounds in my area.LoLoLoLo
then again maybe the pawn guy knew the rims mounts would sell and put em on ebay... good luck selling that 5 lug.
Okay, so I've been playing this kit for a while and it's not so pristine as it was when I first cleaned it up, but it sounds great! but luckly I took pics just after it was cleaned.
I've got pictures of it set up Charlie Watts style with the original front head and pics of it set up for playing/recording.

and here's the full five piece, I know tama snare but it' sounds decent and everybody probably will hate the clear front head but I'was going for sound and a little 80's styling (still waiting on a gretsch logo sticker Chrome or black? you tell me.)
