1962 Rogers Holiday kit for $75. 3-ply, Cleveland tags. Drums are in the round, bearing edges are immaculate. Missing bottom hoops and 4 lugs on the floor tom. 5 bread and butter lugs on the kick are cracked. I'm wondering whether to fix the broken ones and replace the missing ones, or just change over to beavertails since the B and B's are likely to crumble sooner than later.Also missing bass drum tension rods, spurs, tom arm and tom mount so I'll be on the lookout for replacements.I got these drums from a nice old guy who bought them new in the store when they came out in the '60s. His son is a drummer too but didn't want the kit. ???The bass drum wrap has a few cracks but they are hard to see. The kick drum inlay on one of the hoops is in 5 pieces so I'll be glueing it back together after I spray the hoops.I just bought a holiday kit and I've been creaming over it all month but I couldn't pass this up.
