YES!!!!!!! Those look awesome! Great Job! I have been wondering when I would see these drums! So glad to see them almost complete. Wow I really do think they look great! What are you going to use for heads?

Thanks ! Calf actually, I've got the heads for the bass drum ready to tuck, and I think I'll use the old heads that came with the kick to use with the flesh hoops of the tango snare. My rack tom still has Its orig. calf heads intact and playable, so eventually the whole set with have calf on it. For now I can't play them (gosh darn it It's unbearable) but I was messing around with the toms with my other drums. To hear the sound coming from them is really exciting.

I am a Blaemire guy and I love glass and steel but this,..." kit" has caught my eye.

I absolutely love it. I remember those T Band album covers with pictures of those older drums. At the time I went "What are those"?

Levon played well on "Rag Mamma Rag.":D

When I typed in the words "The Band", the Smilie for the band was inserted.

Lets see if it does it again. Yep it happened again.

Keep up the great work. SA

That's going to be a great looking kit.

I am restoreing a snare simiiar the the one your useing for a floor tom and I sanded the finish off and put some teak oil on it and now polying it. It is georgous. Those drums would look great. The grain is so nice when refinished natural..

How cool. The kit looks like someone raided an early 70's high school music department. Can't wait to see the completed set. I love the wood!
