lol!! grrrr i dont know what to do with the snare. keep it and ignore the out of round-ness? maybe try get it fixed? no idea how i'd go about that, sell it on for half the money i payed? :(

If it is documented, I`m sure there are fans that would kill for it in any condition !!

I can get on guestlist to The Animals gigs, so I could probably take it along and get the skin signed, but thats about as much documentation as I could get. I doubt there are any pics with him using it. I don't even know what John Steel looks like these days.

oh LORD please, as to the first part of don let be misunderstood just adding a lyric or 2

the seller is" no more mister nice guy he is just mean

serious ive seen body and fender tools do that i hammered out some dings in a rogers with a dolly and hammer and did it with a cloth rapped over the dolly and it came out sweet fyi

Oooh! i getcha

Bring it with one head off, signed ...sold with his signature and dated... on the inside of the shell is how to tell it was his drum !!

Do you think putting it in a circular jig and putting pressure on it over the course of a few days could get it back round? and ill try get the inside signed then :)

Btw Mapex Black Panther vs 60's Ludwig Supra

i know it should be a clear victory to the supra but im wondering what you'd prefer? i mean the mapex is probably of higher quality because of new technology etc.

I suppoose if you know what you`re do`n and take your time.

If I had my choice between the Supra, and the Mapex,...I`d take the Sonor D-506 !! :D

I want a sonor bell brass kinda thing, you know the 33 lb monsters? i think purdie used one!

If it sounds great at your gigs (not in your room), just leave it be and use it as the tool that it is, in short time you'll likely forget its cosmetic faults and fall in love with its sound, and over time you'll be glad you didn't take a chance on messing it up.

Supras sound absolutely great and are hard to beat! (a little pun there)
