I'm trying to find a VERY NICE CONDITION 1N as complete as possible. I would prefer the 22,13,16,snare (solid) config. It's important that it be original and very clean. I prefer 1949 or later in BDP.
If you have the kit or know of a collector who has it, please touch bases with me. Thanks.
Bump and grind my way to the top.
If I could add my 2 pennies, go for a kit with a 3 point strainer on the snare. The clamshell strainers are fickle and you are limited in your choice of snare wires.
Good luck with your hunt!
Check the Chicago Craigslist, there is an ealy 50's late 40's kit owned by Barrett Deems, a but pricey though.

I think I have what you are looking for. Let me know if you are still interested? I obtained it years ago when I was a kid and went online to research which set I had. Pretty sure it is what you looking for.
OK. I'm here. What do you have?
I believe I have the Gene Krupa Deluxe Ensemble 1-N in the blue sparkle as shown (See attached). It is a full original set. I am unsure the exact year. I will take pictures over the next few days. Please let me know if this was the set you were referring to?
Included:
1. Snare with stand
2. Hihat
3. Bass Drum
4. Tom tom
5. Bass tom
6. Ride cymbal
7. Crash cymbal with stand
8. Wood block
9. Cow bell
10. I think I even have the brushes
11. Seat...don't think this is original, but not sure
11. Hard cases and soft cases...not sure if this is original or not...looks like it but not sure.
Tonight I pulled the drum set out of storage. I took a quick pic on my iphone. I will dust off and take some better pics if this is what you are looking for. I am still looking for the snare stand and the pedal. I have them, just need to find them.
Yup. That's looking like something I'm seeking. I'll wait for you to get it all unloaded and double check a few items.
