>great job on everything john. it really turned out wonderful. i think we may have all learned something from the citrus strip ordeal. i had always heard it was the safest. i am now telling people about the graffiti stuff. thats good info to know.
Most times, the best lessons are learned the hard way!
>add this set to the list of some rare drums that you have somehow managed to come across. i think its great since you have such a passion for them.
Honest, I think I've become 'magnetized' for these kits! They really seem to 'come to me'. Some luck, some good drum karma and lots of hard research work looking for them on my part. Pays off.
>the red inlay looks cool. my ludwig galaxy sparkle kit has the galaxy inlays. i'm always afraid they are gonna tear or rip. i too would go with one of the colors in my wrap to highlight them a bit if i replaced them.
Mike, I still have a piece of that stuff, more like a remnant, but if you ever need a patch, I have it. Scratch that, I'll just send it to you and if you ever need it, you'll have it right there. Instant patch!
>enjoy that kit. the patchwork is very nice. gramps is good people for hooking you up with that.
I dedicated the restoration to Gary. Nice guy, generous drum brother. He represents what I love about these forums. There's the odd-jerk or three, but man, I have made some good friends and new acquaintances through participating these forums. Better than finding gold.
PM me about the piece of Galaxy wrap. I'll get it right out to you.
John
