This is by far the coolest looking drum set I've seen. What do you think?

Thumbs up

I approve. Looks like my '55 Caddy.

(I don't really have a '55 Caddy.)

I can imagine the drummer for an oldies band, like JimmyM's, pulling up to the venue is a Nomad wagon with those drums in the back.

I have a buddy that is a drummer. He drives a 1956 Belair that matches that kit to T. I sent him the link.
