Huge thanks to Bob aka Crusin

I found this kit at an antique store in Raleigh, NC when my friend was over from Germany on a clinic tour. I paid $500 for it and restored every nut and bolt. I was supposed to flip it to make the wife happy but really did not want to. Anyway I sold it to Gary to help fund the completion of my Gretsch name band outfit kit.

Long story short I decided I needed the kit back and thanks to Bob from Charlotte (great person to deal with and always has lots of nice Camco drums) he convinced Gary to sell it back. I decided I needed to take some new pictures on the bay the other day while the weather was nice.

Hope you all enjoy and for me its a kit that will stay with me for good this time.

Manny

Another shot with some simple photo effects to make it look "vintage".

Manny - get those little rubber feet off the FT and bass drum. Use these:

When you hear the difference in sound these little rubber feet will make, you'll think it's a whole new set of drums. Yes, it makes that much difference in the sound of the drums. Try them. You'll thank me later! I have these on -all- of my drums.

Too many great drums to list here!

It's obvious why you wanted them back. What are the sizes. The cymbal L-arm looks like a WFL. Beautiful kit I had one like that when i was in high school. I sold it for $150 so I could get married.crying2-07

Wayne,

Thanks I don't plan on letting them go again :) They will stay with the family and be passed on when I pass.
