Cleanest kit I've ever seen for this old. Edges are unbelievable.

Awesome!! That's a keeper!! ;-)
Top notch Gary !!! Yes Sir
Bet it sounds killer
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
Beautiful kit. I also have a 1965 bdp kit. It was modified to add a 12 inch tom so it has the 4 extra holes from the consolete. My kick is 20 inch. What size is your kick?
When I get some time I'm going to do the Novus thing just to brighten them up. Also thinking about getting the bearing edges redone by that little company up in New York.
I'd like to see some more photos.
Nice job Gary. Saw them on FB too. Just beautiful. BDP looks mint!
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

Here is my 65 BDP. One of the bass drum hoops has a bit of a flat spot on it. Any suggestions on repair? I don't think it affects seating the head on the drum.
Thanks
Super Outfit, BBK...!!
Glad you got them, I know you'll enjoy them..!!!
Thanks for all the kudos!
