QR Code Link to This Post
This 1970s-era drum kit started life as an import “Powersonic” stencil kit, likely produced at the Pearl factory in Taiwan. About eight years ago, it was rescued and thoughtfully refreshed, and it’s been a fantastic-sounding, great-looking kit ever since.
The previous owner sanded, stained, and sealed the shells on the inside, then re-wrapped the kit in burgundy sparkle. I later spent several hours cleaning and polishing all hoops and external hardware. The drums had great bones to begin with, and it shows.
NO snares, cymbals, or other hardware included.
Sizes:
24x14 bass drum (with vintage Pearl hoop inlays)
12x8 rack tom
13x9 rack tom
16x16 floor tom
18x16 floor tom
All the toms have working internal mufflers
Upgrades / Non-Original Parts:
INDe tom brackets on the rack toms
DW bass drum tom mount (not pictured, but included)
Yamaha bass drum spurs (much sturdier than originals)

A mix of mostly Remo heads, all in usable condition
Bass drum reso head is Evans with a Slingerland decal (for clarity: these are NOT Slingerland drums)
Ready to play as-is, or swap in your preferred heads
Condition & Use:
Good condition considering the age

This is a real looker with a big, classic sound—especially that 24” kick—perfect for rock, blues, indie, or anyone who loves vintage-style drums with modern usability.
