This drum is Near Mint. There is a bit of pitting and one scratch. I still say near mint because there is little trace of any scratches/pitting on the lugs (or anywhere else). It has original wires and I believe the heads are from the 80s (probably the first replacements of the originals). This drum spent most of its life in a case. Nonetheless, it was completely disassembled, cleaned, polished, and even tuned for nice crispy Supra-sweetness.
Some of the bottom tension rods appear to be bent a bit (though still very much completely functional), which is a mystery to me (as to how) considering there are no signs of any accident. There is one scratch to the panel to the right of the badge, and that also is the panel with the most pitting.
Please be sure to view the VIDEO I shot to show the shell upon completion of the clean/polish.
