just picked this up (before anyone say it... i offered much more than the other 4 measly attempts  ). anyway, remarkable condition late 50's kit with Deluxe snare drum. all original and unmolested, just need 2 clip on spurs and a lever screw to secure floor tom leg to complete the set up

I have the tightener for you Mr 40, kindly message me your address and I shall despatch.
Damn fine looking snare sir, I have a 6.5" deep one with the blue badge in White Pearl, six lugs only though. Sounds real old school with a calf batter.
Lucky you!
Mr B, I used to have one of those bass drums, an Olympic with two dampers, just like yours:

Many thanks Spart....that solves the mystery. I look forward to mine being as tidy looking as yours.

I've just cleaned the hoops / lugs on the snare drum. the condition is unbelievable. i dont have any string for the snares, so i cant give her a tap.
heres a taster, plus bearing edge close up

They look very tasty Ian. Put the plain old white kit I bought (http://www.mikedolbear.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=106607) in the shade. I was interested that your bass drum only seemed to have one damper whereas mine has two. I can't find a two-damper bass drum in any of the Olympic catalogues so suspect it could be a Premier...which is what the three toms that came of the kit are. Any thoughts (anyone)? |

Very nice Ian, the legs in question are also the same ones that made up the floor tom cradles, in the catalog you had a choice of either |

Yes indeedy Mr 40, so was my offer in retrospect!
That screw is a later addition. It should be either a T shaped one or a slightly less lascivious L shape. Curious that it has those mounts at all, let alone the Premier legs. i suspect it may have originally have been cradle mounted??
I may have either of these tighteners, will have a look tomorrow and let you know.
Needless to say, should you ever wish (or be compelled) to shift that set you will find a willing recipient here...

Let me know if the white silk un you have comes up, I would love that, I'd sell me 60's one for a seventies un!! |

my comment was tongue in cheek Spart. i got it for a good price to be honest, but it will stay in my posession and hopefully be at the Premier 75th anniversary weekend later in the year.
The part i require is one of the FT leg tightening screws, >> http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f339/ian40/turnscrewSmall.jpg

Good Afternoon,
One of those "measly attempts" was mine! Still, I offered more than I paid for the last one I got.
Belter of a kit that, teach me to be of clenched wallet.
Which sort of lever screw do you require?
Enjoy...
