Condition Description: VG - Floor Tom is in strong very good condition, complete and fully functional with no damages, modifications, or extra holes. Nickel plated hardware is incredibly shiny with minimal plating wear, no pitting. Original Gold Sparkle Wrap is shiny and clean with some typical fading and blotching that should be consistent with most matching drums of this era. 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. Batter hoop has radio king stamp, resonant hoop has some notches cut out where tension rods are so not restricted pass-through. Heads are very good with a nice condition Remo Ambassador coated. Ready to play out of the box (just add RIMS mount or cradle)
