CB kids drum set... making it playable. Last viewed: 49 minutes ago

Loading...

Well this set isn't really vintage but some of the parts are.

I'm intending on giving this pile to my Niece, who currently has a toy drum that she likes to beat up. My brother(her father) is also a drummer.

Here's is how they looked when I got them.

Problem was, no hardware. Looks like it originally had really thin spurs for the bass drum, straight floortom legs and vintage maxwin by pearl style tom holders but round bars instead of hexagon ones. Fortunately I had some old parts lying around and a few drum heads. I used liquid gold furniture polish on the interiors, which were almost white soft wood. Now they have a little color to them and some wax to help bounce some sound instead of soaking it up. The floortom is a little yellowed and I still need to find another old max win Tom holder, but its coming out good so far.

Now that's a cool project! I hope it turns out to be the first of many kits your budding young drummer will own and play over a life-time.

Hope you find the holder you need!

Too many great drums to list here!

Thanks!

I am in the process if downsizing my drums to just one Japanese kit and only vintage USA for the rest, but this little set showed up and I really just wanted to fix it up, and make it able to handle some abuse.

And by the way those clubbies came out fantastic!

Well, got the other tom arm thanks to Drumfactory! Still need to figure out a cymbal stand and hihats, but that will be easy will probably end up using a 16" crash for a ride and splashes for crashes probably SABIAN b8's

Here are some pics.

Maybe I should tear off the wrap and make it a mini Beatles rooftop set. Or wrap it in marine pearl? Nah!
