Sticky Wicket. Leedy Full Dress 'Traps Kit' c1930

This is a lovely little set from the Leedy factory Elkhart, Indianna dated around 1930 and to my mind a real looker. It is what is known as a 'Full Dress Kit' with an eye catching finish which was in those days was advertised as equipment to vastly improve your work prospects and drumming career. Did it, well maybe? Either way, as well as looking at it I love playing this kit as you will see  in this video and I particularly enjoyed playing along to Louis Armstrong's 1933 version of the tune 'Dinah'. I hope you enjoy this video too and if so please don't forget to subscribe. Many thanks.
