All nickel parts removed & polished w/ Cape Cod Cloths &/or simichrome (minus washer, springs). The kit came entirely together, including the JF & cymbal arm. Some minor rust/pitting remains, but not much. Nearly zero fading/darkening.

Daaaaang....!!
Lookin Real Good.!!
Nickel is so much richer/classier looking than chrome! Man, you did a really nice job detailing that kit. I love the J-fest. After a time, clubbies came with Pioneers. As good as the Pioneers are, the J-fests are just greatly superior sounding and much more versatile. I love Club Dates, that one is a gem.
Enjoy them for many years to come...

PS - If you want to make that 14" FT and the bass drum come alive, put air-cushioned rubber feet on them! World of difference in the sound and resonance of the bass and floor. Try them. J
Those are SO nice. Great job and enjoy them.
Spectacular. Love those. Congrats.
Really like your set. Club-dates, nickel, BDP... love it all! Get yourself some flat-base stands and your in a time machine. If this set is ever for sale - please contact me.

Top notch! Great looking Clubdate! Kinda wish mine had nickle hardware.
Chris, I bet you were smilling all the way thru the cleaning process because those drums are stunning.
