I am not exactly sure what I am looking at here but when I saw the ad I saw the WFL hi hat and new it was worth at least the $50 they were asking for all of this so I snatched it up quick! Help2Help would be appreciated. I guess I am thinking its Gretsch but the paint job is throwing me off. The hi hats are some Ludwig Paiste hats (made in swiss). Anywho thanks guys!

........And dont worry once I know what it is I will go to ebay "like everybody else does" to see what its worth.

Wow 50.00 for all of these drums.I think you paid way to much for a 50s gretsch Harlequin finish set..Maybe you can sell them for 100.00 or so and make some money but wait!! Just joking around that is one of the best fines i have seen in a long time just the bass drum and snare should bring you if you were ever to sell them 600.00+ Nice Fine....Mikey

I was wondering if this may have came as a two piece set? Any chance of that?

I am going to put some better (and bigger) pics up tonight.

Sucks that someone removed these badges. What are some people thinking?

BOTH badges were gone?

The BD ones fall out all the time,so no surprise there.............

I have the same BD shell sitting in my garage............the finish got a little damaged when my basement flooded this June. :-(

I sold another single BD like yours (sans badge) on Evilbay a year or so ago,and it only went for $100+ or so (can't remember the exact numbers).

I sold a snare just like yours to Bun E years ago.
