Timbales cleaned up nice Last viewed: 5 hours ago

I bought these on eBay last November and just got to them now with a bit of a cleanup. Used Dawn liquid soap on the shells, claws and lugs. It required a little more to clean some of the rust off the stand and t-rods.

13 and 10 1/2" drums. I've emailed Remo to see if they still sell 10.5" heads - haven't heard back.

The heads came with the drum.....Remo WeatherKing Tom Tom on the 13 and a Remo Banjo head (pictured) on the small drum.

The stand appears to be original.

Some more photos. They sound great and have a nice "Frankensteine"-like (Edgar Winter Group tune) muted/echo tom tone with Studio Rings.

In my ears and head anyway haha.

These are HEAVY drums for their size.

I have 2 sets of those...and 1 in copper..

The cymbal mounts on mine were Gladstone type...exactly like the early 50's FT brackets.....

Yours sure cleaned up nice Gary!

Maybe look for some calf skins now? You have the metal "Flesh hoops" atop the plastic heads,so there were calfs at 1 time....
