Found these on Craigslist and was surprised to see them around my neck of the woods. They're 20/10/12/14/16, 90s era, 1993 according to the guy I bought them from. Overall, in pretty good shape to be 23 years old and to have 2 previous owners who were both in touring bands. I've seen a few small scratches on the 10". And I saw on the kick where the actual lacquer has a small crack around one of the lugs. Other than that, just need some cleaning. The lugs and hoops have some patina on them.
There are a couple of annoyances that the previous owner did that I am gonna change. Mainly, he replaced the stock bass drum claws with some dumb black ones and spray painted the rods black on the reso side. He put a kickport on the reso head (that's just a preference thing for me).
I'm gonna gradually restore them/improve some stuff as I get money. Mostly small stuff like putting nylon washers on all the rods, replacing the BD claws with die cast ones with gaskets. I like the fact that he put natural finished maple hoops on the kick, but there are some gashes on them. So I'll eventually want to replace those as well. I also don't have enough tom mounts to set up everything, so right now I just have the 10" and 14" set up. Here's the few pics I have so far.
TL;DR - here are my new Genistas!!
