"Drum No. L-47973"I just remembered that it was a series of numbers that didn't make any decipherable sense to me. Still don't know what they mean. Anyone?Mine sounds full-bodied, woody, and throaty. It has Aquarian mylar heads on it. I'm glad I just pulled it out again...it's a fun drum to play on!I can't post a pic, 'cause our computer is on the fritz, and VDF won't accept pics straight from my phone. :(

I wonder if it could be a model or production number of some sort on your drum? Maybe someone will chime in with more info...

Thanks for the info on the heads you are using...I think I will use mylar too...I`m just havent decided what brand yet...

Whenever your computer is back running, please, post some pics of your marcher...I would like to see them...

Cheers

After many references about White Vinegar on this site, for rust removal, I started using it, w/ great results,... Less obnoxious, less caustic than other solutions, & fast acting.

I used white vinegar on some rusty parts today and was very impressed on how well it works!! A soft toothbrush aided getting into the hard to reach spots...Thanks for the tip tdennis!!

Cheers

Caddy,

After closer inspection of the inside of my shell, I do see faintly in black ink from a rubber stamp - Drum No. L-47979...

Could this be a model number? Or, a serial number? Our stamps are only 6 numbers off...Intriguing!!

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

I dunno. My thoughts: my drum sounds GOOD! Waiting for somebody else to chime in about the model number or whatever...
