Here's the floor tom after a day's work! Cleaned up pretty good. The bottom hoop is pretty scratched up and this one had a couple deep scratches to the panel left of the badge when looking head on. Plus some very minor wrap damage under the hoop. But no extra holes and sounds great with just a quick tune!

By the way that snare cleaned up and the fact that it's Burgundy Sparkle, the snare is worth over $600. Even with the Ludwig strainer holes.

Keep the pictures coming. :)

Wow! What a score! The brass really sweetens it up too! Have fun with them, great sounding tubs. I refinished my RB's in burgundy sparkle, one of my all-time fav finish.

Congrats! :Santa:

Too many great drums to list here!

Coming up well, a little TLC works wonders..

(Give that Pearl pedal a run before you part it off.. I still use one of those from time to time)..

Hey John what vintage/model is that Pearl pedal? I was scouring online for that info and the bay but could not come up with that model. I want to know in case I sell it. I will try it out first! I play everything I get in these deals at least once. Just to know what they are all about!

By the way if anyone has the diamond plate I need for the 12 and the 8 tension rods/claws I need for the kick please let me know! Would prefer trade but have paypal as well!

thanks!

Aaahh! Mere flesh-wounds and battle scars. Each tells a story.

Brother, you are going to have one beautiful, coveted kit when your done (heck, it's coveted now). Each picture you post is like a long, drawn-out strip-tease. Can't wait till tomorrow.
