once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Beautiful kit. I also have a 1965 bdp kit. It was modified to add a 12 inch tom so it has the 4 extra holes from the consolete. My kick is 20 inch. What size is your kick?

When I get some time I'm going to do the Novus thing just to brighten them up. Also thinking about getting the bearing edges redone by that little company up in New York.

I'd like to see some more photos.

Here is my 65 BDP. One of the bass drum hoops has a bit of a flat spot on it. Any suggestions on repair? I don't think it affects seating the head on the drum.

Thanks

Post this over in the Restoring section. I'm sure someone will be able to help answer that
