I recently acquired these 3 Kent gold sparkle drums from a friend. They are dated December 15-19, 1966.
A few questions/concerns:
1. Are the flanged hoops on the bass drum original?
2. What would the original throw off look like for the snare? Anyone have one?
3. The 13" tom has some major issues with the top edge being "caved in." Seems like it was under extreme tension for a long, long, time. Is this salvageable?
4. As you can see from the pics, the 13 and the snare are whacky out of round. What is to be done about this?
5. All edges need to be re-cut. Is it worth it?
Guess I just don't know where to start with these. Any ideas?
Thanks!
