To call this unique is an understatement - this is an anomaly! While officially introduced much later, this example of Rosewood Pearl was exposed to enough UV light to turn a pretty even shade of purple - quite psychedelic and in the vein of Ludwig's
"Mod Orange". Originally this wrap would have looked more like Mahogany Cortex. This is a 3 ply maple kit, and factory born together, featuring pretty all original hardware. It is in pretty good shape all things considering.

14 x 22 - Great Overall shape, featuring mostly original hardware - 20x large lugs, 16x T-rods & claws (4x tension rods on bottom panel), 2x clean black hoops with Silver Sparkle inlay, 2x telescopic spur mounts & new spurs, and Set-O-matic double tom mount with functioning post. Chrome is pretty clean overall, minimal pitting on lugs. Some claws show some corrosion on the bottom. Finish is pretty clean overall - tough formica wrap can take abuse. Some hard to see normal scratching. Fade is pretty even around the drum. Seams are tight, no cracking.

8 x 12 - Great shape overall w/ original hardware - 12x small lugs, 12x tension rods, 2x StickSaver hoops (batter is COB, reso is steel), muffler, and Set-O-Matic mount. Chrome is all quite clean, minimal pitting at all. Finish is even and shows only minor wear, no cracking, deep scratches, or lifting seam.

9 x 13 - Great shape overall w/ original hardware - 12x small lugs, 12x tension rods, 2x StickSaver hoops (batter is COB, reso is steel), muffler, and Set-O-Matic mount. Chrome is all quite clean, minimal pitting at all. Finish is even and shows only minor wear, no cracking, deep scratches, or lifting seam.

16 x 16 - Great shape overall w/ original hardware - 16x small lugs, 16x tension rods, 2x StickSaver Hoops (batter is COB, reso is steel, muffler, and 3 leg mounts & legs. Chrome is all pretty clean, with some subtle wear on the bottom hoop. Finish is eve with tight seams and few marks/scratches, but there is a 2" chip randomly missing. No cracking or signs of furthering.

“I love this drum store! I just bought my second kit from Nelson's, and I couldn't be happier. The service and care these guys provide is like none other. This is THE place for vintage drums, fantastic service, and a great community. I've never felt more welcome and at home in a music store than I do here. Keep doing what you are doing!”
