22x14”
All original lugs, tension rods, claws, rail mount, hoops and cymbal mounts
The spur mounts are original but the actual spurs are Premier, not that anyone would be able to tell
There are two original cymbal mounts fitted. One is hidden under the tom, and the other is in the standard ride position, which has its original thumb screw
The damper felt might not be original but works
There are the usual, to be expected marks and scuffs on the kick hoops
There are a few dulls bits of wrap on the top of the bass drum where I think a previous owner has had drum sticks laid
Fitted with brand new Remo Classic Fit P3 Coated with Evans EQ4 Calftone reso. As often the case for shells of this era, heads were a little tight. I ended finding Remo Classic Fit and Evans heads fit best so have gone for a combo of these

All original lugs, tension rods, die cast hoops, mounts, and top and bottom dampeners. The damper felts might have been switched for circular felts
Some minor scuffs and signs of aging
