For sale.
Attention vintage Pearl drum fans.

Up for auction is a very cool, clean and original vintage Pearl Thunder King 13 round x 10 deep mounted tom from 1968. Classic drum, made in Japan.
Finished in original blue oyster pearl wrap. The drum is in excellent condition with no shell damage, no extra holes, no breaks in the wrap and no fading in color or difference in color from drum to drum. Rich high gloss blue strata finish. Excellent chrome finish.
Original Pearl script logo chrome badge.
After doing some research I found there were relatively few Thunder King kits made by Pearl. These kits were considered to be at the top of Pearl's drum line up along with the President series. This kit was special ordered with Pearl President lugs on all drums.
I believe the shell is made with phillipine mahogany wood according to online research -- was typical shell construction from this era. Shell interior and bearing edges are in excellent condition. Drum heads in very good condition.
Details and specifications:
6 lugs per side. Original lugs, hoops and tom mount. Original internal muffler assembly is in place with outer muffler control dial. Chrome hardware in excellent condition.
Classic drum in clean, very original condition -- appreciating in value. Warm, woody tone with lots of resonance.
