Fantastic drums! I restored one several years ago that had been spray painted over the Duco finish. The chrome was spectacular and the drum sounded awesome!

Yes, it's a beauty. I got lucky again. It didn't last long on eBay. I grabbed it as quick as I could. I don't even think it was on there 12 hours.

No, it went to Bentley's drum store on the west coast several years ago.

I received the drum. Its in remarkable condition other than the hoops. They came with slight dents in them. I did find a pair on Ebay, Nickel over Brass with stamping in them so I grabbed em. The heads on the drum were pretty much garbage and choking the drum so I have new ones on the way. American Vintage that will hopefully fit better. Once its all together I'm taking the whole Radio King kit out by a lake up here and get some high Def photos done!
