GEORGE WAY PRE CAMCO DRUM SET, 3 PLY JASPER SHELLS, W/WHITE SEALER PAINTED INTERIORS. GEORGE WAY WAS THE MOST INTRIGUING FIGURE IN AMERICAN DRUM SET HISTORY. RHYTHM MAGAZINE DID AN ARTICLE ON A COLLECTOR FROM THE UK, WITH TWO WAY DRUM KITS, ONE IN BLACK MARINE PEARL, ONE IN WHITE MARINE PEARL WITH UNORIGINAL HARDWARE. ARISTOCRACT OR TURRET LUGS ARE A GEORGE WAY DESIGN WHICH IS STILL BEING USED TODAY BY dw DRUMS BACK OVER 50 YEARS. THE HOOPS ARE ALL CHROME OVER BRASS, THE FINEST EVER MADE, AND EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE TODAY. THESE DRUMS ARE SO RARE PARTICULARY IN THIS WHITE MARINE PEARL EXAMPLE. THE FLOOR TOM LEG BRACKETS ARE LEEDY DESIGN, LEFT OVER FROM THE LEEDY FACTORY THAT GEORGE ADOPTED TO MAKE HIS OWN DRUMS. THE SPURS ARE THE WAY BEST, RECTRATABLE CURVED EXAMPLE. THE LUGS AND HOOPS RIMS ARE ALL SOLID BRASS WITH TRIPLE A CHROMING, THE SHELLS HAVE THE WHITE PAINTED INTERIORS, WITH REINFORCING RINGS THROUGH THE SET. THE BEARING EDGES ARE ROUNDED GIVING THE KIT A REALLY TRUE VINTAGE SOUNDING SET. THIS KIT SOUNDS LIKE NO OTHER I PLAYED, I HAVE OWNED AND PLAYED EVERY VINTAGE DRUM MANFACTURER DRUM SET OUT THERE, MAN THESE ARE REALLY FANTASTIC TUBS. THERE ARE NO EXTRA HOLES PERIOD OR MODS. ON THE TOM-TOM THERES IS A RASH AREA NEAR THE MUFFLER THUMB WHEEL, AND UN NOTICEABLE, NO PARTS MISSING, THE KIT COMES WITH AN UNORIGINAL FREE BASS DRUM RIDE CYMBAL HOLDER, I HAVE ADDED THE CORRECT 50’S ERA TOP TO THE BASS DRUM CYMBAL HOLDER, IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE ONE PICTURED WHICH WAS A MODERN PIECE, MUCH COOLER LOOK INDEED. THE ORIGINAL WRAP HAS NOT YELLOWED THROUGH THE YEARS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL OWNER KEPT THEM IN CASES IN A KOOL ROOM. PACKED SEPERATELY ANF FULLY INSURED AS WELL OF COURSE.
