Condition Description: VG - Bass drum is in Very Good Condition. Black Diamond Pearl wrap is excellent, so clean almost looks like a rewrap, but definitely factory original, badge has never been removed. Clean and shiny with no cracks or damages. Shell is mostly clean with smooth bearing edges, re-rings and plies are mostly tight with minimal separation. Original white painted interior. Hoops are very clean and classy with natural maple stain and original inlay. Spur mount holes look professionally done. Calf heads are in good condition still usable and tune up nice, but resonant head has tiny split close to a claw as pictured, and batter head has a tiny hole that could be covered with a falam patch. Ready to play, sounds incredible
