Thanks for the kind words. They are all original as a rock duo set. They are stamped Dec 12th 1968. I really lucked into them 7-8 years ago. They were listed on ebay with a BIN of $1100.00 and when I looked at the location they were about 45 mins away from me.
Of coarse I hit the BIN and the seller contacted me imediately. He was actually coming up my way for something and he brought them right to me! He was super excited that he did'nt have to ship them. They have loads of green left but it looks like they were in a window somewhere and the left side of the kit(looking at the drums) has a little bit of fade. The main bass drum and 13" tom have the worst fade and it is only in one area of each drum. The 12" is practically unfaded and the 16 looks pretty good too.
The set came with two speed king pedels and I even got the original boxes for the pedals! Unfortunately there was no snare drum. I added a very clean late 60's supra to round things off. It's a special set!
