Description: Vintage Drum Kit I understand that collecting drums involves a lot of passion.Sometimes passion can blind us a bit and causes us to have unrealistic expectations.I mention this, because it is easy to forget that these drums are over 50 years old!It is fair to say, that perfection should NOT be expected from any of these drums.These drums have been played over the years and hauled from gig to gig.As a result, there are various cosmetic blemishes, general wear, and damage to some drums.I will provide you with a lot of pictures and a general overview of what I see for each drum.I will do my best to note any above average wear that I see, but I'm not perfect.I may miss some things or not have the knowledge to search for specific characteristics.I am unable to picture or mention each and every blemish.So please; I ask that you understand this and not expect perfection, or for each and every blemish to be mentioned.I've had the pleasure of selling drums to many fantastic drummers, who are just great people.I've also dealt with a lot of drummers who have no forced me to include this disclaimer. :-) The ebay gallery only limits me to 24 pictures.In the second picture, you can see where to go to, to view many more pictures of the drum set.You can also message me and I can direct you in the right direction.
