Very early stop sign badge drum set. 20/12/13/16 in Peacock Satin Flame wrap. Shells are 6 ply Jasper from late Round Badge era, right before the serial number reset (and one drum right after). Here's the scoop -

20x14 Bass Drum: Edges are great, no extra holes, brand new Pratt Muffler installed, original hoops with inlay. No issues.

12x8 Tom: Edges are great, both die cast hoops original, one original tone control present, but there's a set of extra holes that were drilled for another diamond plate at some point.

13x9 Tom: Same exact story as the 12x8 tom, but there's no tone controls because I never used it.

16x16 Floor Tom: Same story as the 12x8 tom (edges good, two brand new tone controls I installed myself, a set of extra holes, Ludwig legs/brackets). Batter side hoop is original die cast, reso is non-original triple flange.

Original tom mount is functional and included, but as we know, these mounts are more like weapons than mounts.

Set sounds great, modern heads fit without a struggle and there's tuning range with all the drums, all shells are in round, wrap has some blemishes/scuffs (expected with satin flames), but not visible at a distance.

$800 + shipping in the lower 48 (to be determined)

Note: I've never shipped a full set before and would much prefer a pick-up or meet up in NY/NJ/CT. Willing to ship, but want to be completely transparent and make sure buyer knows everything about the kit beforehand to avoid any issues. Thanks.

I have that exact same kit! Same mounts and everything.

I was worried at first, that someone "borrowed" my pics :) Good luck with the sale.

Thanks! Yeah, I love this kit, but I don't use a 16" FT much and never use the 13" at all. Need to make space and it deserves a better home.
