I actually traded a set of bass drum spurs for this kit lol, but wanted to find a floor tom for it before doing anything with it. I found a 14x14 orange sparkle MIJ floor tom that was probably the closest thing I would find to match the kit. I thought this was a Kent Vibratone, but Vibratone is actually the name and later they changed to Kent. As far as I know, a floor tom was never available back in the Vibratone days. Kent made orange sparkle drums, including floor toms, but trying to find an orphan would probably take a lifetime so the MIJ will have to do! Even though the Kent has nickel hardware and are single tension drums and the floor tom is chrome... For the drum set restoration, I buffed the shells with Novus plastic polish, painted the bass drum hoops, removing rust from hardware by soaking in vinegar was the hardest part, but was still stupid simple. I used Remo drumheads, plus I got a goatskin head from Bovid Percussion to really tie the whole kit together, and man, that thing looks cleeeeen! Kents were considered the poor mans Gretsch because of thin 3-ply maple shells, which is what Gretsch was doing at the time. Though, Kents quality control is NOWHERE near that of Gretsch’s haha. Still a cool little drum set! If you looking for a budget a&f drum set thats half the quality then this kit is for you! haha I Bought an OLD Kent Drum Set - The Poor Man's Gretsch...
