No I dont have a kit like that one with calf skin heads but I got a couple hundred bucks. Ill take that old crusty drum set off your hands.

I have a set of Radio Kings with the original calf skins for the bass drum. I bought new calf skins for the toms & snare drum. I posted a video of that kit here on youtube. You can judge for yourself if you like the calf skin heads.

very nice kit, i love these kits :)
i wudnt go with calfskin heads, they have a LOT of trouble wtih expanding, contracting and detuning depending on where ur playing.
get some aquarian modern vintage heads or remo fiberskyn heads for it :)

sweet kit. You should consider using the aquarian vintage heads. Those heads sound just like calf without all the problems. I have them on a old kent kit. sounds great. check out my vids. similar stuff.
Nice. I love the kit. Nice groove at about a minute in. Never tried the calf on my kit. What are the heads? Good tone from 'em. Do you plan on picking up a 13 to standardize it? Just curious. What's the year of the snare? I just picked up a Krupa snare for my Buddy Rich kit (lol). I have a matched snare, but it just seemed like the thing to do. Again...nice kit.

Hey Teach,
Thanks for writing. The heads are Remo coated Ams. A 13? Well, I prefer the
8x12 over a 9x13, and the 8x12 was appealing when I bid on the kit back in Dec. 2007.
The c-o-b snare is probably from '56 or '57before Sling began cataloging the drum as a "Krupa." Has a Chicago badge. Picked up a wmp Chicago-badge snare which you can see/hear in another clip "RKS." I tend to play the c-o-b most, and use a '40s 7x14 RK (see RKS clip) with my Gretsch 20-12-14 kit.
Happy drumming!
