Thanks for all the input! Sound like these are the ones to keep.

The cymbal sizes are: 21" ride, 18" ride, 16" crash and 14" hi hats. They are all pretty shiny and they all have the same identical stamp on them.

I found them in a Craigslist ad. I saw them Sunday night and sent a note. The owner called me yesterday and said that they were available, so when I looked at them, I bought them. They guy said that he had over 100 emails but he called me first! I'm glad he did.

There were a lot of extra parts that came with it, like these things. They were on the ride cymbals. They say Camco on them. What are they?

Here it is on the cymbal. Oh, all the drums came is these really cool black cases with big leather straps and buckles to hold the closed. Now I have to find a place to keep them...or aren't they worth keeping?

Keep the cases. If they are original to the set, they add to the overall mojo IMO, but probably not much monetarily. At any rate, once you get rid of them, they are gone for good..............

There are about 5,000 posts on this site speaking of stuff guys (and gals) wished they hadn't gotten rid of............

Julia great score!!! I know a couple people that were calling about these drums!!! I would hold onto these if I were you! These things are VERY special! It is VERY exciting. I am in MI also. I am sending you a PM for you and your dad!

camco cymbal sizzlers. allows you to make a cymbal a sizzle cymbal without drilling and adding rivets. you can flip them up while on the cymbal if you don't want to have the sizzle effect. they are adjustable in length to fit variable cymbal sizes and also to be located on different locations on the cymbal itself.
