All 3 kits have beavertails... so are you sure the '63 kit isn't a '64? From what I've read the beavertails came out at the very very end of '63/early 64.

Its possible / ...the serials are #9000/10500 and 3ply

end of 63 to 64 sounds about right..

Which drums have those serials? Are they Holiday labels? Is 'Holiday' typed in on a blank label or on a crossed-out label?

Regular Holiday tags with those numbers on them are from 1959.

But if they're Powertone Clevelands, those numbers date them to 1965, not 1963.

So what are they being rewrapped in? Black Diamond Pearl or something completely different?

Those serials are on the kit, correct? Powertones were only snare drums back then...

The 14" Flr is #9112 Cleve/crossed out with blk marker / typed in Holiday.

The 12" Tom #9198 Same as above..

The 18" I've packed away / will check later..

Rims/..

Was planning on BDP / but I came across my Dayton kit alil while back & the wrap is in mint shape/orig..

So was hoping on something different/..

My 1st choice is the WMP or Antique MP.

Or maybe something wild my wife would like/ sparkle Red / Blue.

Considering to install a correct period "L" cymbal mount on the kick.

I have to say I'm really impressed with the sound of the kick..!

Evans EMAD2 on the Batter / Remo WeatherKing Powerstoke 3 Reson.

With the Evans KICK Pillow (sometimes).

WOW! Those are great!

In that case, the serials are not of much use in exact dating. A look at the style of lug inserts would help. But, Cleveland beavertail drums were only built from 63 to 66 and were all virtually the same.

ok, I'l post a Cpl pics of the insert / didn't know about that..Thxs..
