They look great! Congrats. I'd love to hear them if your up to making a video. It's not everyday most of us come across sets like that.

I can't believe how great those drums look for a 70 something year old kit! You did an amazing job preserving those for the future my friend. I'm impressed. Great work.
Now enjoy them!

Hello,
Great job on the kit. I have an Anniversary sparkle kit and I've been trying to find a paint match for the grey/silver they used on the bass drum hoops. Any ideas? did you just bring the drum into the paint store and have them match it?
Thanks, -Dave

Cool vid thanks for posting. The tacked head toms sound great too!! Amazing kit for sure being 71 years old. I just noticed the tom lugs.....they look like the bass lugs just cut in half. Sure made things easy.
