Since we're on the subject...a picture's worth a thousand words. This picture is the worst section of a 5x8 tom I have that has 24 EXTRA holes. Badgeless, Ludwig tom mount, Slingerland lugs (offset and still touching). I should just hold it next to my good drums and tell them that this could be their fate if they go out of tune.

Anyone want to try and save my E pattern vistalite big beat that the original owner sanded and painted black. FLOCKING single stage acrylic enamel car paint. One crack whole kit. Colors are yellow and red. Wish he wouldn't have painted these drums!!!

MastroSnare:
Keen catch! Having dealt with Donn Bennett numerous times, I feel compelled to convey that he is a fellow of high integrity.... I guess Elvin himself just didn't feel the same way most of us do!!
(On the other hand, I'd absorb Vintage's wrath in a hearbeat in exchange for Elvis' playing ability....)

Thats hilarious...besides the price,those xtra holes were done at a time when modifications were the norm.Its rare you see as many virgin pieces as we do,which explains the big price ticket...Im thinking Elvin or no Elvin,some Gretsch head is going to pass on that drum because of the holesWalking
Hit like you mean it!!

Speaking of Holes, I saw this ad and the original ad when it first posted, and it immediately reminded me of this post. I thought nobody will buy that set with those holes he drilled. Well I was wrong.
