I actually meant I would be willing to trade the 12 inch tom with the white baseball bat for some of those parts.

Cheers.

I've got most of those parts (minus the bass hoop a bit). I would be willing to trade for the tom. PM me.

Thanks O-Lugs ! I do have a lot of love for this kit. Much more than any I just walked out of a store with in the past. That is for sure.

Amazing. They look brand new! I've always thought that champagne sparkle Downbeats were amongst the classiest drums around. Your set proves the point nicely.

Kits:
1950s Gretsch Name Band in Midnight Blue Pearl (13/16/22/14sn)
1965/66 Ludwig Club Dates rewrapped in Black Diamond Pearl (12/15/20)

nice resto,those CS kits look great under lights,and I have heard that some kits came from the factory with white paint on the screws and washers,so that could be original.
