Ditto on that vintage drum bug ............. !!!He sent me a "bonus" calf skin head with an item I got from him not long ago.As a matter of fact, the item was a piece of vintage Slingerland sparkling blue pearl wrap... the deep one from the sixties, and that was FREE too.... Just an all around nice guy, and anyone who suspects Jonni of doing anything other than just what he says is mistaken. I believe him to be an honest and forthcoming individual.
The wrap came off the tom I sent to Vin. Sorry Vin, it came off before we made the deal. I was originally going to use the tom in a MIJ mix-n-match kit, but decided against it. I hope that you can get that one spot repaired. If you are unsure of how to do it, let me know, I can tell you what I have done so far, the reasons and what I used. The plies were coming apart so badly that I had to do something. After the residue comes off, the shell will be structurally a tank.
The head kevins refers to came off this shell as well, so two members share the same drum. However, the head...it may not ever see the light of day again. I would hope that it is in a condition that it is salvagable. But, it could be trimmed to a 10" shell....
Thanks for all your confidence guys...it means a lot to me. I know I am an irritant to some, but you know, I try to be as helpful as I can to as many as I can. And since I am a salesman, I know how that can come off to yet others...but I really don't care about the detractors, they are just plain fun to fu...nevermind, I think you get the idea.
