Tuning and head selection are definitely the most important things to consider. Seriously, you can get so many sounds out of the same drum just by using different kinds of heads.

Don't forget about cymbals, there's plenty of 60's Zildjians on ebay. The Paiste Giant Beat reissues are also pretty killer for an old school sound.
