Does anyone have a floor tom to match this 1961 set ?

these do actually come up from time to time. ive seen a few in this color. that looks like a 22/13 combo kit. if it is, a 12x15 floor tom is what you would be looking for. they also made tenor toms in 12x15 with clubdate lugs. you could add legs to it or put it on a shortened stand. they also made 12x15 marching snares in this size with clubdate lugs. they also work well. if you found a project shell, it would nto be hard at all to recreate the duco paint scheme. if i run acroos something, i'll give you a shout.

here is a pic of my clubdate 22/13 combo kit. the 12x15 floor tom was made for me by forum member purdie shuffle.

meant to add. your bass is setup just like mine. dont see too many of those floating around. they have the neat center disappearing cymbal mount and use the clipper mount for the tom. i love those clipper mounts!

if you get to playing the kit, they make a z bar that will go right on that cymbal mount and move the ride cymbal over so you dont have to put it on a seperate cymbal stand.

sorry for all the excess info. i love these kits!

here is a candidate. its had some modifications to it. so, it wouldnt be a crime to strip the wrap and paint to your color...

That puppy is perfect, Mike!

Audiorep - Not that hard to do a Duco paint job. You can do it by using an old turntable or Lazy Susan set-up to spin the shell for you as you spray paint. I've done it successfully and it wasn't hard at all.

Too many great drums to list here!

I've also seen someone paint a duco using an old double braced hihat stand with a piece of plywood with a hole drilled in the center, just remember to mask the stand and pull rod.
