🧠 BACKSTORY:
Count Five, from San Jose, CA, were a one-hit wonder whose 1966 single “Psychotic Reaction” became a garage rock classic and a staple of the psychedelic era. This kit was later owned/used by a band affiliate and carries their distinctive branding — a rare find for any vintage rock collector.
