the 6.5 is third down the line, the bass mount is second, a Paiste Signature dark energy crash is next...i need some keyboards and something to trigger sounds with to.

I wouldn't.

If he ever decided to sell it, he would get less because the originality thing is a big factor. Unfortunately a lot of the early hardware wasn't very good so with the old tom mounts it can be hard to get a comfortable setting.

Unfortunately a lot of the early hardware wasn't very good so with the old tom mounts it can be hard to get a comfortable setting.He could put it back though. I just think he should take it off and cover it with something that looks good. He could always put it back on. ;)

I love that kit! Easily one of my top 5 on the forum! When did you get that Ludwig snare? I thought you had the Ian Paice signature?

I actually had a 14x6.5 Brass Free Floater. Sold it and got the Supra for 108 bucks.

Really clean drum. Exc. condition 3-ply shell, rapid strainer, cob hoops, 6 lugs, new wires and heads.
THIS IS NOT A REWRAP, it is the original sixties green glass glitter (it just looks new)
