Condition Description: VG - drum is in very good condition, with clean aluminum rims and lugs and early orange-peel texture aluminum shell. Only reason this is very good not excellent is some corrosion on the p83 throw-off lever arm. Could easily be cherried up to excellent collector-condition drum. Shell has permanent marker lines for each lug on the batter side. I've seen other prototype aluminums with these same markings so believe to be original. All factory, no mods.
