enough cash :(

Refinance the house if you have to... hock your wife... sell the children for scientific experiments, whatever, but get those tubs!

That is one perfectly aged vintage set of drums. Beautiful kit.

It seems rather reasonable. Get the best price out of him that you can. But to me it seems in line with what prices are going for.

I will be in the minority here but faded WMP on a nice set of tubs is like an oxidized paint job on a pimped-out street rod. It just looks ugly, worn and unworthy, at least to me. I would pass and look for something that resembles it's original intended color.

Good luck with your selling of the Yammies and finding another kit!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

DH - If you're a collector looking for a 'museum piece' to add to your collection, then I agree with you 100%. But I think you're missing the point of buying 'vintage' with drums that are going to be played.

What you see on those drums is not 'fading' it's age-patina. It's not 'ugly' at all, in fact, the patina (aging) on this particular set of Rogers is absolutely beautiful. There's a difference between the look of WMP that is faded, or has been yellowed by tobacco smoke/environmental factors and one that has a 'natural' patina from age. The WMP wrap on those Rogers has aged perfectly. It has that 'Golden' tone to it that drummers who love vintage WMP look for.

My point is, (if I have one,) that there is 'good yellowing' and there is 'bad yellowing'. This Rogers kit falls into the 'good yellowing' category. To vintage WMP lovers, the age patina on this kit is to die for.
