Early 60s Olympic '65' set in original White Silk Pearl wrap
Sized: 20x12", 12x8", 16x16".
3-ply birch shells with beech rerings.
Included with this kit is the original bass drum spurs, floor tom legs and tom mount.
The toms are Pre-International sized (11-7/8" and 16-5/8"), this means they require Remo Pre-International heads. Any drum shop can order these in, but not all stock them all the time. The toms also feature the original slotted tension rods.
The shells and edges are in great shape. I find these birch shells tune up great and cut through really well.
As often with these kits, the tom hoops have pitting as well as other bits of hardware.
The silk pearl wraps often acquire hair line cracks/splits in the lines, there is one of these above the floor tom badge. There is also aging to the wraps all round, although the 12” tom seems to have aged less than the other two drums. The floor tom and bass drum have a bit more of a yellow/orangey tinge than white compared to the 12”.
Please see detailed photos for condition.
It is no issue but there is a little chip of wrap missing on the bass drum. It’s on the edge of the shell and isn’t lifting, and it’s covered by the skin but I thought it was worth mentioning. This is photographed.
The kit has new Remo heads all round. Toms have Remo Pre-International Coated Ambassador batter and resos. The bass drum is fitted with a Clear Powerstroke 3 batter and Coated Ambassador reso, with a era correct Olympic decal and Joe Cox Drums decal.
Freshly stripped, cleaned and polished in my workshop April 2020.
