So here's some more photos.

12" again. It's two layers of 3ply, bent, with seams against each other. You can see that the manufacturing process wasn't very precise...

This is supposed to be a snare bed! Gotta work on it some. There are similar "beds" on the 12" but I believe they are "just" imperfections of the edge.

FT inside stamp. Wonder what it means. There are also capital letters stamped inside each shell. Earlier 3 ply drums had all "H", but these newer models also have other letters. Wonder what that means...

Old heads are practically useless. I put some used coated Emperors as batters and coated Ambassador as a resonant for the rack tom (still gotta get one bigger hoop for the FT, until then, reso stays original.) They have deep and THUMPY sound, thanks to those far-from-perfect edges, I believe. They won't be much suitable for ska, wich is what I play mostly, but quite alright for hard rock, wich is indeed what I'd love to play more. So it's not all that bad, I think!
