1960s George Hayman 'Vibrasonic' in Gold Ingot - 14x22, 9x13, 16x16

Not something that comes around these parts too often! Hailing all the way from England, these Hayman were the hard rocker's choice over on the Isle at the time. Famous for their white painted interiors and stout shells with plied reinforcement rings. This appears to be a factory matched kit with no extra holes in one of their flagship finishes - Gold Ingot. These do show their play wear and have a few unoriginal parts. Interiors have been repainted white, and crudely. Bearing edges appear to all have been recut. Finish shows some wear with slightly raising seams, slight oxidation throughout the wrap / fading, and in the case particularly on the bass drum "eye-browing" around the lugs and some cracking. Hardware shows some light pitting and corrosion, but namely scratching. While definitely a player's kit - these do sounds awesome and have a lot of unique mojo. 

14x22 - Bass drum has new black hoops, 9x original claws & T-rods, and 11x generic replacements. Original spur mounts with Ludwig spurs, and original cymbal mount on top. Rail mount is missing (the 4x holes are original). This is probably the roughest drum of the three. There is some light evidence of in bottom of the bass drum having gotten slightly wet at one time due to subtle cracking of the inner ply. A lug mount screw is missing on one of the lugs on the bottom of the drum. 

9x13 - Tom has a new triple flanged hoop on one side and what appears to be the original hoop on the resonant side. All square head tension rods that appear to be newer. Tone control is there but missing, a screw and the felt. Original tom mount is on the shell. 

16x16 - Floor Tom has the original hoop on the resonant side with slotted tension rods, and newer triple flanged hoop on the batter with mix matching square head tension rods. Original leg mounts all work and have the original legs. Part of the muffler is there but no arm.
