Aside from well, the name. This is a 1st gen Standard with white painted interiors, all born together in December of 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14x20 - Drum is in excellent shape overall. 'Dec 29 1968' date stamp. Some of the paint has worn away from the bearing edges. Wrap has faded evenly to more of a ginger ale. There are a few scratches but nothing that really sticks out. Seams show a little bit of curling but they are pretty secure. Original lugs, claws and T-rods are all clean, with just a little bit of pitting and some expected wear. Center tom mounting bracket is fully intact and comes with the tom arm. There is a complete cymbal arm bracket, but no L-arm. Disappearing straight spurs are original. Original hoops show minimal paint loss and inlays have faded to match the wrap. Still has the original 'Standard' logo resonant head!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14x14 - Very nice condition. 'Dec 28 1968' date stamp. Wrap on this drum faded just a little bit darker than the others, but is otherwise very clean. There are just a couple very light scratches. Seam is tight. Hardware looks to be original throughout and is overall very clean, with the lightest bit of pitting. Internal dampener is present and functional. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8x12 - Drum is also in great shape. 'Dec 28 1968' date stamp. Wrap has faded similarly to the rest, but is probably the lightest shade of ginger ale compared to the other two. Again, wrap is very clean and seam is tight. All original hardware has very minimal pitting in a few places and the hoops have a few small spots of surface rust that should polish out. Mounting bracket is all there and internal muffler is present and functional. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSee photos for further condition.
