***AUCTION IS OPEN***
Please go to the pinned post on my instagram page and follow the instructions to bid for the white Pearl kit.
Overall I feel the kit is in great shape. Other than some scrapes on the hardware and a few marks on the kick drum wrap from resting spare sticks on it during the set (can see in posted pics), the shells are all intact. Some new heads and this bad boy is ready to be unleashed to the general population once again.
However, there is one piece of the kit that has some damage and that is one of the floor tom legs (as seen in this photo). It still works fine but there is a pretty good story that goes along with it which includes Motörhead and the Dwarves.
Please go to my Facebook page to read about it, it was too long to post on Instagram.
