I ran into (literally) a mid 50's Slingerland cocktail kit for $30 a couple of weeks ago. The wrap was trashed and the original pedal was missing. It came with a Ludwig Speedmaster Red Reversible pedal, still in working order. Here's a picture of it, taken with a crappy camera phone. I've spent almost 30 hours refinishing it, and it's beautiful! Refinishing pics coming soon. This picture is how it looked when I bought it. If you look at the right hand side of the shell, you can see the wrap bulging off...cocktailwithwrap.jpg
 
Restored the original snare fan inside and sold it to a buddy. He added a set of roto-toms and a remote hi-hat and the thing sings!
 
I finally figured out how to put pics in my posts. Here's some pics of the finalized project.
