Manny - Excellent job! I have the same kit (mine is a 1958 Name Band with the 5.5" matching snare,) that I re-wrapped in Burgundy sparkle awhile back. You're going to love playing those. Really nice, warm sound. I have mine tuned low and they sound killer.

Enjoy them!

John

Too many great drums to list here!
