    Sorry for the image quality, a cell phone is really the only option I have.
    I really love these things, picked them up for the heft price of zero dollars too.
    Specs:
    12x8(not pictured, I prefer it to the 13" but the heads are shot at the moment.)
    13x9
    16x16
    22x14
    12x7 Mapex Black Panther
    14x5 Ludwig Acrolite(not pictured, need to get a new head and snare wires)

    14" Dream Bliss Hi-Hats
    20" Meinl Sweet Light Ride
    20" Dream Bliss Crash Ride(not pictured due to lack of stands)
    21" Sabian Legacy Ride(signed by Benny Greb!)

      Thanks man! The 12x8 is orange. It sucks because along with the preferable sound, it really meshes a lot better with the blue and yellow.

        For what it's worth I like the red too. Those are defintely a cool find....especially for free. You should install an led light inside of each drum that shines white...would be cool to bring out each color

          Hmm, I think I'm going to try to do that actually. Any idea how I would install it in the drum?

                  They'd have to be worth a good bit more than that for me to get rid of em, there's no kit in that price range I'd give these up for. The heads I had to replace the 70's era ones with are already pretty beat up, but they still sound awesome.

                          It still had the original skins on? Wow where did you find this a cold war bunker? Some new hardware, skins and get acrolite up and you have yourself a whopping setup

                            A friend and I were bored one day and stopped by his local dump, we found this along with a 70's Fender Super Reverb. It was broken, but he's a guitar player so he took it and had it fixed though. Talk about a stroke of good luck! The hardware is fine other than the ghetto hi-hat cymbal stand, my regular was stolen at a gig. I guess the front hoops also(so called "ludwig expert" at the store gave me the wrong length tension rods...)
