This is a traditional 60s, 20 12 16 set up, and somebody added the 13 later.
I don't have the original single arm, I only have that double arm as that is the way that I acquired the set as is.

*The Cleveland tag with the Zolatone (speckle grey) interior on #6524 is an anomaly. #6524 is a very early number, but the cross-out removes the possibility of putting a definite date to the drum. However, being that the drum has a Zolatone interior we can certainly deduce that this was made in 1968 during the summer or fall (latest). That drum had to have been assembled at the Dayton plant right after the move from Covington and the assembler likely didn’t have a tag available (the cross-out on the tag also explains it and therefore makes it difficult to put an exact date to it…but my guess would be summer or fall of 1968, due to the Cleveland tag somehow making it onto the shell). The initials of the assemblers also help to deduce that the drums were indeed assembled in Dayton, as many of the original workers in Covington left/were fired by CBS around this time.
Unique pieces, for sure.
Happy to chat, drum nerd,
player, collection curator,
have worked for vintage drum shoppes in Chicago.
I'd like to see the set go to a home that will cherish it.
Local Chicago pickup encouraged.
Buyer pays shipping and handling. I'm skilled at packing.
