I can see them now.

It appears the wrap is original. I can see it going into the scarf on that one photo. It appears to be the right color, too and has some age marks. That's a good thing.

I think the grommets looks okay...the floor tom grommet has some chipping on the inside, but I think it's probably okay.

What you seem to have is a 1964 Downbeat kit.

Other than the white paint on the interiors, they're probably very do-able!Party

Very good! Too bad about the paint...but you know, like I said earlier...nobodies gonna see it. Slowly clean this one, every single part, down to the springs, and wrap them as you put them back. This will be a nice kit with your Supra as the center piece. It would be nice to have the snare, but those are all spitited away in a vault under some obscure location in the Idaho Wilderness....and when one is allowed to escape in that color, you better be prepared to take, or rather already have taken, a large second mortgage on your home. They fall upwards, into the stratosphere.

You guys are awesome ! Thanks for helping me figure all this out. Now it's time to get cracking on cleaning this sucker up !

Hey if anyone has any of the parts I need and would be interested in swapping me for that second 12 inch tom with the badge missing and the white baseball bat muffler please let me know.

Here are some of the things I will be trying to track down:

Floor tom:

8 lugs 8 tension rods and a bottom hoop

12 inch tom:

Tension rods

Kick Drum:

1 hoop, 8 T-claws with tension rods, Two Legs, and 2 Wing Nuts with inner piece for the leg holders.

Here are some pics of the extra tom:

Those parts should be relatively easy to find. There might be someone on this forum who can make you a good deal. The red felt BB might be harder to find because they were only made for a couple years.

They are cool drums and you will love the sound.Party
