Chris’ Notes: I inherited this kit from my father and am one lucky guy. The kick and rack tom were purchased together and feature nickel-plated lugs while the floor tom was purchased separately and has chrome lugs. These shells are to die for – the legendary mahogany/poplar/mahogany 3-ply with round bearing edges, solid reinforcement rings, and white interior. They sound, hmmm, how else to put it… “wise.” Like the ’70 Standard kit, the toms have a wide variety of tuning ranges at which they sound stellar. The kick is small and has a very warm focused attack – it sounds like dynamite with absolutely no muffling. A recording session requiring a smaller yet dynamic setup with vintage warmth will almost always see this kit used.
