Here is a drum that everyone has seen around. Another one of my restoration projects for someday down the road. I have cleaned it but need to get some calf heads for it.

Hey Jeff

Is this your Superbowl Half time buy?

Mine is like yours and on the list to restore one day . . .

I just picked up this 1920's Ludwig & Ludwig Birdseye Maple Field Snare Drum that was used by the Hexamer Fife and Drum Corp of NJ.

Am doing some research into the drum corp as I believe it is based on a a famous Civil War Captain William Hexamer who commanded an artillery battery in the Civil war - Gettysburg and the family is from the Newark NJ area where he's buried.
