Original White Marine Pearl Wrap is very clean with minimal fading and no cracks or damages. 3ply 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 original except for rims are chrome ludwig, one period correct, other later era, and floor tom legs are nickel dowels, each 13", perfect size for the 18" tall floor tom. One leg mount does not clamp the leg as securely, still works, but shaving some metal off of the internal eyelet would make it more bulletproof. 2 original cymbal arm/accessory mounts are missing the internal eyelets.
Heads are very good to excellent condition Aquarian Vintage. Ready to play out of the box
