That drum went from rode hard and put up wet to,just a classic,showing its age a bit,...but not too much.Nice job Mike.

Nice job man! I just LOVE those real old drums. So are ya gonna play it? Hmmmm

mike

You literally brought it back from the dead!

Yeah, good job. :cool:

I really enjoy restoration work on anything...houses, furniture, cars and certainly drums. Whenever I see one of these sad snares on eBay I am sooooo tempted to pull the trigger. I just haven't got the space to do the work and store the results. Takes a great amount of self-restraint to not try to buy them all. Nice job Mike. Glad someone was able to should that snare some respect.

Great job Mike. There are people out there madly giving new guitars, and now drums, the relic treatment but it's instruments like this with a story that seem just right with their age and history worn proudly but made playable again with lots of care and hard work. Very cool

Great work on that old girl. I had a wood snare with that same strainer. One good rim shot and it would let go. Still much fun.

man what a work of art

on the wooden drums, wasn't it mounted on the hoop instead of the shell? it took a bit of "tuning" to get it to stay engaged. that's for sure.
