This is the badge I tightened too tight with a 3/8th drive pistol grip bluepoint air impact. The rest of the badges turned out perfect!!!!! The impact is the best grommet installationj I have ever tried.

Ok Y'all since I took these pics I have found some other screw ups.

I have one of the tom tom brackets upside down and the badge on the floor tom needs to be glued down.

I had some pretty stressful moments in this restoration. But I am absolutly thrilled of the outcome, even if there is no market for rewrapped drums. I love this drum kit. Its my favorite now, above all 7 of my true vintage classic kits. It's fun Y'all!!!!

If one does not make a mistake,one cannot learn.......

But one ahh-shiit wipes out a whole days worth of atta-boys!!! LOL

Beautiful job Poppy!! As far as value goes that kit is far better than any entry level kit on the market IMO. Ya never know down the road.

I had some pretty major scew ups when I was videoing the wrap process. I deleted them. I wish i had kept them. im sure y'all would be entertined by them. I had to redo my intro several times. I forgot to put the tape to mark where to start gluing. I had to pull the wrap back off of the snare twice. I got the overlap backwards twice! The seem wouldnt have came out under the lugs. I had to clean the glue off of the wrap twice. It was hectic!!, But i got er done!
