Woaaah,... thanks for checking Aaron !

Those inches are totally freaking me out so when I'm back home I'll measure the ones that I got and do the conversion from metric to that "thing" you guys are using,...

The holes will be plugged anyway so I guess any size will do but something period-correct would be great of course.

Don't stress out because in the mean time a forum member made me a good deal. I love this place !

And now,..... off to the studio,.... band practice time !!!!!!

Nice job on plugging the holes. I have a 13" tom I'll be plugging holes in very soon. Keep up the good work..... you have some beautiful kits!

John good tip on the grain direction on the plug thanks.

Wow

Now I can see your huge plugs its made me think about turning my 70's Gretsch bass drum virgin!

Great job Stedi

Keep the pics coming

Cheers

HA! You crazy Euro's and your simple metric system...why can't you have a complicated measurement system like Americans do?!? I guess we just like to do things the hard way and then brag once we do them!

I saw the consolette you picked up...good score! How perfect was the timing (and price) on that? Glad you scored on it.

Little update,...

The BD and rack tom shells are about ready to re-wrap.

A thorough sanding on the outside and they're ready to go,...

The floor tom should arrive to Belgium by the end of next week, same as the T-rods, claws and rail consolette.

I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.

By the way,... the 15"X12" floor tom is missing the base ball bat muffler and has the later Ludwig brackets/legs installed in stead of the straight ones.

PM me if you have some.

Thanks

Stef

Holy moly that bass drum was holey. Nice job, those shells are looking good.Cool1

wow you are almost done with your second set, I just started on mine.

I have the advantage of knowing exactly happend to my set because I did it! (almost 20 years ago) [IMG]http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc496/diaclone/th_lilclubdate.jpg[/IMG]

Modular hardware... on a clubdate! thats right, big a$$ 1" holes drilled into the bass and tom. my floortom fared much better with just extra holes to fit later ludwig leg brackets. the bass drum also had gibraltar folding/ telescoping spurs put on it, which I misplaced the first time!

I was about 15-16 years old, got the shells for 40 bucks, and needed a "playable" set. so there I was with a drill and hole-saw, putting the heaviest mounting hardware known to man on the most minimal drums ever created, I still feel sick when I think about it.crying2-07

I will be doing a thread on my set as well. here is a pic of the big hole.
