I thought this only happened to other people, but it finally happened to me, and man, is it ever a sad thing to discover. Like many of us, I always wanted an oyster black pearl Ludwig Downbeat kit as part of my collection, for the usual reasons... I love the look of them, and yes, I'm also a huge Beatles fan. So I picked up a highly molested and rewrapped (in gloss black) set of Downbeat shells with some old Zildjians and some hardware for $100 back in the fall with the intention of it being a big overhaul project and I was going to wrap them in the 60's oyster black and make a fun player's kit out of it. So, I stowed them away for the winter and today I finally decided to go and have a closer look at them so I could start on my parts list and get the project rolling. Out of curiositym I started peeling away the wrap just to see how stuck on there it was, and I almost fell over... yup, you guessed it... OBP under there!
Unfortunately, no part of this story is good - the OBP wrap is covered in hardened glue, and the bass drum shell has been 'swiss cheesed' by the previous guy who had them (see pics). The 12" tom also has extra holes from an aftermarket mount, as does the 14". It gets worse, just when I thought I'd try to salvage the wrap and have some kind of mangled OBP player kit on my hands, I peeled back the wrap on the 14 and saw that the OBP had been removed - all that's left is what was peeking out of the scarf joint. The outer mahogany ply of the 14" ft was varnished, so my guess is that the guy intended to go bare wood on the kit, then realized that it was a p.i.t.a. to remove the wrap, and then elected to slather glue on all of them and re-wrap them in black DOH
So, the pics are as follows: Peeling back the bass drum wrap to have a peek, Peeling back the 12" tom wrap to have a peek, Interior of the Bass drum (oh, did I mention they painted the bass drum black on the inside??? - GOOD GRIEF!)
Anyway, sorry for being so long winded about it, but I just had to share my story Violin
Indeed, now I've seen it all!
