Mega rare drum here. Originally a parade drum, but I've been using it as a bass drum and floor tom. Chrome is pretty good, shell is excellent, edges true, no re-ring separation, modern heads fit with ease. The wrap has seen some things and sports multiple scuffs and a couple of splits. The hoops need some tlc, as the inlay is loose in places and needs gluing. As it stands, you'd need vintage clamp on spurs to gig this as a bass drum. I installed one wider modern hoop and used DW rim-mounted spurs. Two for use as a bass drum and three (with legs) to use as a floor tom. It sounds huge, it's cool as you like and no one else has one. For the buy it now price, I'll include two hoops and a brand new pair of DW rim-mounted spurs.
