Things are changing around here, some for the better. I've decided not to sell the kit after all.
Maybe later...but not right now!
Thanks for all the positive notes n' stuff.
This is an amazing 1969 Buddy Rich Drum Set, number 80N. I bought is from the person who did the restoration, and man is it beautiful! 22 inch bass, 13 tom, and two 16x16 floor toms. In the most popular color (that's an understatement!) White Marine Pearl.
It is complete with the Buddy Rich Artist model snare, including a Zoomatic that works smoothly, Hardware included! Correct Temo King Pedal and Dynamo Hi Hat ARE included.
This is a rare opportunity to own an historically significant kit -- from the a great era of the Slingerland Company.
I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is to play this kit! Whenever I play it, I think "man, I've improved! the same way a Porsche would make me feel like a better driverOr how great it sounds! The pictures taken outdoors are from the prior owner -- I used them because I don't have the space to set it up in a setting that shows it fairly. Also included: an original Slingerland bass head with the logo silkscreened on it; it is not ported.
Health issues are pushing me to sell the kit...otherwise I'd be buried in it!!
