From 11frozentreat11

Is the drum you mentioned the one with the cool wood hoops? That drum is awesome!I took the batter head off the 13" and took some pics for you. Looks to be 2-ply to me! It's essentially the same as the 3-ply shells, just without the inner ply - I assume the poplar core of 3-ply shells is also vertical grain. Mind BlowiSea green zephyrs?! Wow, do you have any pics of any of the drums you mentioned? I (and many others, I assume) would love to see them! Do you still own any of them? Excited

Sorry , no pics. Sold a couple years back.

I may have the tom mounts, I will look when am back at the CT house in 2-weeks. I think they are the same non-chrome or nickel plated as your mounts. I will let you know in case your interested.

It sounds like someone else online already has me covered! Thanks for the offer, though. :)

Hello everyone,

I found the tom and cymbal holders a while ago! I just realized I never updated the thread.

I took some pictures of it all set up: http://imgur.com/a/H4SGT

The toms and snare are now nice and clean, as well as all the hardware. Forum member "wflkurt" did me a favor, and sold me an original butt and (half) of the twin sensitive strainer for the snare! I plan on making everything as close to original as possible, since it's such an awesome set. flowers2

I've also managed to track down a WFL rail (nickel, but close enough), as well as a "speed master" bass pedal, but I haven't taken photos yet. Jumping2

FYI
