Members Broncomino Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just got these in trade for a cheep bass I had lying around. Anyone ever heard of these? They look cool, but need a lot of work. Bunch hardware missing. Edit: they are pretty old too, like 60's or 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hope Drums Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hmmm...they look like a Rogers knock-off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agogobill Posted April 24, 2007 Members Share Posted April 24, 2007 Cheap vintage Japanese crap ... I would NOT put any $$$ into them. For a few dollars more, you could get new drums that are 10x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 Awesome logo! My first kit is made of that acrid smelling - BTW nearly 40 years later if I put the resos on, that smell will concentrate to the original factory fresh toxicity levels - umm oh yeah, splinter wood. I just found out last week that they don't cut the edges because that wood wont hold an edge. What a waste of MFG. Oh well, good starter kit. You love drumming or nuthin'...

Members controlledburn Posted April 26, 2007 Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 Great beater kit!! And great link to the vintage Japanese article. My first set, which I still have, is an early 70's Pearl piece of crap blue sparkle. Edges and roudness highly questionable, but at 10 years old it made me the coolest dude around.

Members D Carroll Posted September 9, 2008 Members Share Posted September 9, 2008 yep, Japanese stencil set. I would keep them around, only because they look nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RatamacueLooWho Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 My first proper kit was a set of 4 piece Crowns' that my father purchased for me. I loved that ugly, old, kit. It was orange sparkle. I added some NuVader cymbals to it as well. Eventually, it grew into a double bass with some Crowns that I found at another music store in Tucson in the same color scheme. Since, I have owned: Remo, Yamaha, Premier ( an absolutely cannon of a drum ) , Pearl, and now Tama wit Paiste cymbals. I owe it all to my old Crowns! Would do almost anything to get that old kit back........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
