This thread is getting underway pretty nicely i think ;) I even managed to get our very own Super Moderator TommyP to get in on it ! Awesome kits so far boys.. Keep up them coming.. I just realized i should have actually put a pic of my own kit along with with the catalog kit, but at least it's up on the gallery :D

Wow, great idea for a thread! Amazing how some of the kits are exactly like the catalog pictures, good job of setting them up to match. I cant find my kits with correct wrap so I cant play but Im having a good time seeing the others.

Leedy drum solo outfit #12....I even love the way they named their kits back then.

Indeed ... was a great idea for a thread! That said, David and I tend to stay in the background here, as from the start, we conceived of the VDF as FOR THE MEMBERS, thus ... we tend to NOT get involved in the posts/threads, unless intervention is required of course! That hasn't been the case in quite some time though, which is great! This one was unique, so figured I'd add to it with my Rogers BR Celebrity's!

Sure you can Jeff! Rogers didn't catalog the Buddy Rich celebrity Model in WMP or with twin 16X16's ... ( which I always found to be odd ) ... but that's how he always played them. Buddy NEVER had a set in Silver Sparkle either of course, but no problem as the MODEL is the same, and especially so as the artist played it!

Im not sure of the year my oyster blue Ludwigs were made.

Another one of my "catalog" kits! This one is the Modern Jazz 9N. While not shown, I have the cowbell and holder! I also have the matching Artist snare drum and 16x16 floor tom, making this another Cusatis 4N kit!

Gary N, that is the closet I think you could get to the exact catalog picture. Amazing

Here is another one that is lying around but i can only afford 3 drums....:Snow Flake:

Cannot even find the wrap offered, but 1967 Rogers Wildwood fans know this is for sure beautiful. Drums are down the road, but pictured as a catalog view.
