Extremely rare, floral-pattern engraved black beauty! This drum is mostly original, with the exception of the heads and 7 of the 10 bottom collar hooks. The shell is free from any dents or scratches, but shows a fairly even speckled patina all the way around. Aside from that, the black nickel plating is in nice condition. There looks to be a bit of old dried polish residue behind the strainer. Engravings are all visible in great detail. The 'de luxe' finish on the 10x original tube lugs, hoops, tension rods and 13 of the 20 hoop clips show similar wear. The 7x non-original collar hooks are Worldmax 'Aztec Gold' plated brass. The finish on the strainer and butt plate is a bit more well preserved but still shows some wear. Strainer seems to hold well. Resonant head is calf skin and is of the same era as the drum, showing a "Bruno Select" stamp on the underside. 12x original gut snares are fully intact. Batter head is a Remo Fiberskyn.

“I love this drum store! I just bought my second kit from Nelson's, and I couldn't be happier. The service and care these guys provide is like none other. This is THE place for vintage drums, fantastic service, and a great community. I've never felt more welcome and at home in a music store than I do here. Keep doing what you are doing!”

“I had been told to check it out. I had a few things i needed for a show later in the week and they had them. The man that helped me was awesome and answered all my questions. The place is crawling with vintage gear and snares! Will be back for sure!”

“This is a great drum shop and I haven't physically been there yet!! I had an awesome and seamless experience with the team at Nelson Drum Shop during my trade transaction which was done remotely ( I live in Florida).”
