andrea, that price is Insane, and to have it shipped to you in italy even more so, it is a players kit, it has been refinisned inside and out, it has extra holes due to the ludwig hardware that has ben installed, the bass drum rims are ludwig, and we don't even know what's been done to the bearing edges. i'm not going to tell you not to buy it if this is what your really wanting, but it will be hard to resale it. also after really looking it over this is NOT the Year model that is stated, I have a real 1930's Radio king kit, the re rings are way to small, the bottom rims on the toms are ludwig triple flange, this thing ticks me off is what it does, Do not spend your money on it it's junk!

I WILL advise you to not buy this "set". The drums have been stripped and refinished. The bass drum has been defiled by the addition of ludwig parts that required many additional holes. The price is beyond rediculous. Drums that have been changed this much from original specs are NOT collectibles. They are merely three OLD DRUMS that may be adequate for the type of playing that you do, If these three overpriced, heavily altered drums float your boat, go ahead and buy them. I have been guilty of paying way too much for things I thought I wanted. But, these old altered drums would not interest me for any more than $200 total including shipping.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

Thanks a lot for your advices... I just sold my italian Drum Sound set for 1100€ and I don't know if to buy another set or keep the money..

A friend of mine is selling a Sonor S-Classix 24,12,14,16+14x5.5 for 1200€.. and I think it'a good price for an excellent drum... but I'm also interested in a Slingerland set (26,13,16).. so... I have so many doubts!!!
