Hi again!
Well I pulled the bass drum apart and found that it has been cut down! Why in the hell someone has done it is beyond me, but I won't let it stop me! Whoever cut it down has put the re-ring back in with screws. Once the hoop was off I could see where the lugs use to be. The actual cut was made in line with the original front hole for the lugs.
On the front hoop that was totally black and what I thought was a paint was actually a black contact, and when I removed the contact I found the inlay still in all its glory!
As someone suggested it might be cool to find an orphan kick or something along those lines down the track.
I took the added hardware off the 13" tom as well and had a look at what the extra holes are like. Should be able to sort them out I'm thinking with a bit of work. The tom also needs a new muffler and bottom hoop.
The floor tom and snare are great and really just need a good clean. The floor needs a bottom hoop too.
I've attached a pic of the premier hardware I got with the kit for you to see, Im not sure what era it might be from!? I don't know a whole lot about the Premier gear.
The first digit is 6 on the 2002 hats, so I'm guessing they're from 76.
There's also patent numbers on the inside of the hats, can anyone tell me about them?
Shane...
