It has been brought to my attention that these originally did not come with a Tom holder on the kick and floor Tom legs. DW has also continued this tradition by releasing rare woods as limited edition Private Reserve kits. The logs were harvested by underwater treasure hunters and used to create DW’s Timeless Timber line, featuring 25th Anniversary Lake Superior Maple sets in 1997 and DW’s 30th anniversary Lake Superior Birch sets in 2002. In the late ‘90s, John learned of 500-year-old hardwood that had sunk in Lake Superior 100 years ago. John now carries the nickname as DW’s “woodologist,” continually searching out different wood to create unique sets. Here's a quote on the DW website page "In addition to expanding its product line, DW continues to create new drum concepts. Ideally it would be nice not to have to ship these drums and if you're somewhat close to Pittsburgh PA then I'd be glad to meet halfway. I know that these will not last long here long because they only made 50 of the 25th Anniversary Fiddleback Amber in this color. If you're looking for the drum kit of a lifetime that will only continue to go up in value and become more collectible as time goes on then these may very well be the best purchase investment available with this collectible series online today. These drums sound amazing and the kick drum is a cannon. The exception is the small ding in the floor tom (see photo) which is hidden and a small pedal rash on the batter side hoop of the kick drum. In fact I would consider these drum to be a 9.5 out of 10. The condition of these drums and the hardware are both in excellent shape. In fact they have been in cases since late 1998 and only played a few times before that took place. The drums have never been outside of the shop and have stayed in a temperature and climate controlled environment for their whole life. Good and Lombardi signed the drums on 1-23-98 and the shells are all stamped 1-27-1998 The kit is considered a 1997 but was not completed till early 1998. This kit is in excellent condition and was purchased our drum shop (Drum World Pittsburgh) in 1998. The limited-edition drums are TimberMatched Fiddleback all-Maple proportionate-ply shells with graduating reinforcing hoops, precision bearing edges, and True-Pitch Tuning System. Also, "DW" wood inlay using Maple, Mahogany, and Teak. This particular edition is in the Amber finish with "Book-Matched" Fiddleback Maple laquer finish and gold hardware with the 25th Anniversary commemorative badge. My drum set sizes are 8", 10", 12" hanging toms, a 14" Floor Tom and an 18" X 22" Kick Drum. This is the full 5 Piece Drum set of this 25th Anniversary Natural Fiddleback Timeless Timber Collector Set.
