Condition Description: VG - Floor Tom is in strong very good condition, complete and fully functional with no damages, modifications, or extra holes. Original White Marine Pearl Wrap is shiny and pretty clean with minimal fading. Was painted at one point, looks like it may have protected the WMP from the elements. Incredibly shiny and clean. 3-ply mahogany shell is very clean with tight re-rings and plies, and no cracks or damages. Bearing edges are smooth with no gouges. Hardware is all fully functional, complete, and original. One hoop is missing inlay and painted black, other is natural wood and all original inlay intact. Heads are very good with a nice condition Remo. Ready to play out of the box (with RIMS mount or your own cradle)
