If you could, can you take a pic of the cymbal stamps on both top and bottom HH cymbals ?

the 2 rings on the floor are off of the snare, the piece in the pic behind the kick drum is a scooter, it looks like a stand

It`s a Downbeat. With original HH stand and K Zildjian hats.

The BD is what we call a players drum because the spurs have been changed out and the tom mount moved leaving extra holes. The floor tom, is super sought after and the missing hoops and T-rods can be found bringing it back to original value . The 12" tom looks undamaged and totally original too after finding the hoop and T-rods.

You should keep this kit because you`ll love the way it sounds when tuned up.

The HH cymbals, You should take a close pic. of both showing the whole cymbal, top and bottom, and the stamp for each, put them in the cymbal forum and drumaholic will tell you everything you should know about them. If they are factory matched, I think they are like impossible to find, He can tell you if that`s the case.

Don`t part this kit out for the stupid $$$$$ you can make doing that. PM`s will come but think before you act.

The snare is a Jazzfest, common with your kit.

if this is truely a '64, which i'm sure these guys know what they are talking about they usually do, i'd give my left t_ _ for this kit. it is beautiful. you are one lucky guy to find such a gem like this. i'd say keep this baby, clean her up nice and play the holy f out of her. and please...i beg you...do not part her out. it makes me cry to see a kit like this torn apart becoz of greed.

thank you for posting. you came to the right place. these guys know their stuff and won't lead ya wrong. there's also a cup'l guys who can help ya out with missing parts here, blairndrums is one of them. anyway, i like your drums, thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum.

Stay Wiggly,
Robyn
