Some of the stands and pieces do show tarnishing and corrosive spotting associated with the age. These spots are noticed around the snare drum. The drum heads would be due to be replaced, but are original, and racks are in good condition. There are imperfections based on the age of this drum set (I tried to capture most with the photos). Some missing floor rubber pieces for the hardware. There may be some marks or imperfections that I missed. Overall, a beautiful set and rare find with this finish.


Shipping only to the inner 48 states in the US at this time.


Shipping will either be through UPS ground or freight depending on the final packed size and weight. I have many years of shipping experience, but have never shipped something this big. I would plan to nest the drum sets in one another, wrap in cardboard/bubble wrap and use a filler such as packing paper or packing peanuts so that the drums are secured. I would also select signature confirmation when shipping. Handling time would be slightly longer due to planning for these logistics, but I can guarantee it will be carefully packed.
