I realize there are very few people who know what these are, and fewer in the market for a set - make me an offer!!

Note: The pictures show it more blue than green. It is definitely a teal color, not fully blue nor fully green.

No other hardware included other than what's mentioned above.

12 ply maple shells, except for the snare which is some kind of fiberglass. The drums are a lugless design, using a metal hoop system that has a single tension rod called auto-tune. The original hoop design is by Ivan Arbiter, developed and built around 1978. Changing heads is something to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it can go more quickly than a conventional setup. Best to use a small drill and tension rod bit. The metal hoops and hardware are heavier than a conventional setup, especially the kick drum. The weight makes it more suited as a studio or main practice kit. Saw a similar kit with the color listed as Ford Sabre Green.

These drums are used with some dings, but for it's age it looks pretty fantastic with the chrome nice and shiny. All in working order. Some of the wing nuts have been replaced with Gibraltar's. The batter heads are used, but the resonant heads still look new, with the exception of the 14 which has a few scuff marks.

I bought them less than a year ago, and honestly love them. The kick is the only drum I've ever had where I can distinctly hear the attack right through the headphones when I practice. Unfortunately their "home" in the studio is gone and have no place to play them now. Rather than take up space, I'm letting them go.
