Here 'ya go PurdieShuffle and ec curtis !

Posts: 6287 Threads: 375

Got the 12-inch tom Purdie gifted me done , but waiting on a badge.

This was a single ride affair for a bit, but Purdie wrapped a Luddy concert tom with the left over Abalone wrap from the outfit he sold me and sent it to me. He included the lugs and mount as well !

Also, ec curtis gifted me the reso lugs, (WOW, man !!) but as you see, I had to stagger them as concert toms have the lugs much more centered on the shell.

Seventies Luddy rims are apparantly hard to come by, but finally I found a couple.

So, thanks a HECKUVA lot Purdie and Curtis for making this happen !!!

VDF Members Rock !!!!!

Here's a couple of before and afters.....

Awesome! That wrap is seriously killer, and I love the offset lugs.

I remember seeing the thread when Purdie showed us all the free gift. Gotta love this forum

Damn, Kevin, that came out great! I really like the staggered lugs! The kit looks complete and killer. That's one of the most resonant set of drums I ever owned. Love the 6-ply maple shells from that era. You did a bang-up job buddy. I always wanted to see that one 'completed.' You dood it!

Enjoy the kit in good health for many years to come. The good feeling you just gave me can't be bought with greenbacks. Jump For Joy

PS - I've still got three full sheets (I think the -last- three sheets of Abalone on planet Earth,) and you got me itching to re-create the kit. If I find the 'right' set of 6-ply's...

Too many great drums to list here!

Man, you guys are the top of the food chain. There are others, I won't break the silence, but doing these things for each other, and our community as a whole, is what keeps us alive.

You haven't played my WMP MIJ yet...you want resonance, it lasts all day. People beg to record my bass drum.

kevins nothing surprises me any more as usual kudos to u and ur resto and this is a great team here on this forum, i wonder what will happen when us geezers start dying off how will the members know that will be tough not hereing from a member thinking oh well

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
