All shells are in-round with the milk chocolate wash interiors and appear to be 3 ply with reinforcement rings. Most shells stamped with the P indicating they were destined a pearl wrap but no date stamps are apparent. All bearing edges are original and in great shape. Some ply separation visible here and there, but very minor. Shells tune up great and sound huge! Wrap is original, tight with only little fading. A little bit of discoloring on the floor tom wrap seam, but no lifting anywhere.

    Hardware included is the double tom setomatic mount stand, rocket snare stand, hi-hat stand and two cymbal stands. Sorry, no bass drum pedals included. All hardware is pretty pitted, but perfectly functional. Throwing in this hardware at no cost towards the asking price of the set.
