It comes complete with a gorgeous 4"x14" Progressive Jazz snare (which speaks amazingly well, considering many of the PJ snares tended to have a slightly boxy sound). The 14"x14" floor tom has a 1" split in the wrap at the seam (which can't be seen from the front when set up) & has been professionally glued down. And.since the two Rogers collet noses are installed symmetrically on the bass drum, it can be just as easily played righty or lefty - further making this the absolute ultimate house set for the serious recording studio or Jazz club. Unlike a rail mount, you can quickly put the tom exactly where you need it, & with the swivo-mount on the other side, place your ride exactly where you need it in ultimate style. In our humble opinion, this blasts this outfit from top tier collectability to out-of-the-stratosphere collectability, rarity & ultimate playability. These drums have no extra holes as there were never any other type of mounts installed. The original owner was likely a pro as these were outfitted with the most superior mounting hardware of the 60's - Roger Swivo-O-Matics! It was a standard practice in the 60's for pros to have drums outfitted with the hardware of their choice at legendary pro shops such as Frank's in Chicago & Manny's in NY. To play them is exhilarating & to look at them - drool inducing & dream inspiring. When played, the drums recall the magic of your favorite 60's Blue Note records like no other. The bearing edges are true & original, as are all of the hoops & gleaming hardware. This mind-blowing outfit dates to 1966 & has NO extra holes, all of the drums have their silver sealer paint & paper tags adorning the interiors. Astoundingly beautiful & exceedingly rare original Gretsch round badge bop set in all original Tangerine Sparkle.
