I had contact with the eBAY seller before the auction ended. This was his response:
"It used to be Midnight Blue Pearl, which eventually discolored and became Midnight Liver. I took the kit to the late LA drum maker Paul Bleifuss, who removed the finish and buffed the wood below. I find this natural color and wood grain to be very attractive. I glad you asked and I should have mentioned this on the description. Dang. I'll see if I can edit my entry."

For what it's worth, Paul Bleifuss did excellent work, which is why this kit looks as good as it does. Time to correct the listings I think.
[SIZE="4"]**UPDATE**
it has been recently confirmed this was a wrapped kit that was professionally refinished by accredited drum 'doctor' Paul Bleifuss in CA who did an amazing job!
ad has been updated, thanks for the info and confirmation[/SIZE]
The finish actually looks better than it did on ebay, less dried out.
