Whitehall drums were student level drums many moons ago. A lot of the
"budget" entry drums in the 60s and early 70s used the same shells
that were used on pro line drums.
I think Jim from the Nebulas pretty much summed it up. I play a
mid-60s Rogers kit and, while the hardware back then isn't as solid as
it is now, there's a sound and vibe that you just can't get with a new
set. For surf, there isn't much reason to use a huge set, although
Mel Taylor used a lot of toms in his later years.

Life is short. Play for the music. Wear your heart on your sleeve.
