Thank you Sonorfan!
Being a classic rock guy and growing up in 90s early 2k metal hard rock, I have always had an affinity for the solid gold oldies.
I am actually enjoying this kit and quickly need a cocktail bass pedal and I now feel I need to learn second line and cocktail beats.
Though I’m no Cozy or Buddy Rogers, I’m more like Dave Clark, though I can’t stand DC’s shadow. He had that snare cracking and great pulse for beats - if that makes sense.
I love the open warm tones and just now looked into earthtone but not sure if I want to go calf, I for sure want to play all the AM hits with this one.

Interesting finish. Reminds me of peering into a kaleidoscope back in the '70s. The look is a rare one for sure.

Thanks C.M.!
This finish is the reason why I got my Pearl Session Select in Black Halo Glitter which looks a little more like my Acrolite snare in black galaxy (same reason aforementioned) that chose rather than the grey alum ones.
There really is nothing like the confetti Mardi Gras finish from Rogers.
(No I will not be putting CS dots anywhere near these.)

You'll go coated all around, right? Anything else looks out of place on vintage kits to me.

Yessr - these will need single ply coated heads.
I am intrigued by Earthtone calf skin heads as well.

Arrived today! NIB, NOS , 6.5x14 Tama Starclassic bb. Unboxed ( decently packed), and checked finish and hardware and inside of shell by peering though the reso head. Everything looks perfect , but I’ll pop the heads and check bearing edges and tune and tap on Monday .
Some work to do and preparing and getting ready for a new puppy in the house Sunday, so it’ll have to wait . These quick cell phone shots don’t do it justice ( I need forum member @cbphoto to take pics ).
The molten brown burst lacquer literally glows in the sunlight like molten lava !

I think a Hi-Velocity would do the trick on this one! That's just me, but enjoy the drum!

quite stable actually. I was highly impressed by the entire thing. Well constructed, strong hardware, it comes with 2 tom arms to accommodate different holders. The u bar can be moved fore and aft along the legs to meet anyone's needs.
If you don't have a lot of space and are looking to reclaim some floor area, I highly recommend this. You can kind of see it here in my POV pic. It's holding the 12" tom, the ride and the 16"crash.

Thanks man , I really do love this finish . Can’t wait to dig into it ! Then set the kit back up
( been packed away for a few months) , as I was doing some remodeling. Never really got a chance to Dig into the kit fully either . Need to grab a HH stand, a new throne , a ride, and a crash or two . Eventually a double pedal also . Never really learned.
