BEAUTIFUL DRUMS!!
As far as a collector's point of view is concerned, the Rogers spikes are problematic. I understand that people did things like this -mixing parts, that is, but the collectors want original everything within the brand name. Still, it's a gorgeous kit and would undoubtedly sound like it's supposed to sound, regardless of spurs. The thing that gets me is that the original Ludwig jazzette spurs would have been spikes, too. DOH
The muffler knobs are original to a kit from '69. Baseball bat mufflers were discontinued sometime in early 1968 in favor of the rotary knobs.
Thanks for the great pictures!! Congratulations on a wonderful kit!!!
