Blaemire kit project Last viewed: 52 minutes ago

I've been working on getting this together. There's been some hang ups here and there. But I can't wait to hear them. Bass is a 24x14 previously wrapped. So it took some time stripping down. Overall really good shape with a light clear. The mounted tom is an earlier less pretty shell in 9x13 sizes. Someone with poor drilling skills splintered a lot of the holes. It was also wrapped and was painted black inside. This one being an earlier shell is a bit browner. So i tried a tinting process that was actually pretty cheap and worked ok. The 13 matches the bass pretty reasonably. The 16x16 is flawless. I received it in undrilled condition. So all i had to do was take my time and do a proper drill job. The 16x18... well, this presents the most challenge. I haven't started on it yet but someone at some point split it into two. I aim to put it back. It is also painted black on the inside and is still full of contact cement. I'll get to it. At any rate, this is where I'm at. As long as the 13 matches the other two, I'll keep it. If not, i have another larger tom i can use but i have other plans for it. Plus, i like 9x13 toms. That's my go to size for mounted toms. Here's some pics. I'll put more up as i go.

That looks great! Good job bringing those drums back to life. Let us know how they sound when you are done.

13 after clear. You can see some black on the inside where it's stuck in some of the grain. I have to scratch it out with a needle or small screw driver. I'll work on it when I'm bored. Floor tom undrilled. Notice it's almost a green apple color. Weird...

Floor tom after drilling. Once i get the lugs on, I'll snap some more shots and decide if the match is decent with the 13. So stay tuned..

Hey Jason,

Looking good bro! I meant to ask you, is that your snare in the pic with the bass drum?
