'67 SBP cleaning

Loading...

Hello all, it's been a while since I've been on here and I've actually had some time to get things done that I should have done a while ago.

At any rate I'm going to be cleaning up my 1967 deluxe classic in sky blue pearl. Everyone thinks my kit is black diamond because of the fade, especially on the floor tom.

I'm going to be using novus 3,2,&1 on part of the shell to see if it actually lightens the fade. I have used retr0bright on a set of wmp drums and I do not want to risk it on this kit.

First up disassembly.

SBP is my all time favorite. We're these shells orphans that were put together?

No this was a complete kit. It looks as though the floor tom and bass were exposed to light on a certain side. The bottom and front heads/hoops were also off most of its life. Looks like I'm going to have to re shape the bearing edge on the 13" tom as it has several gouges from the bass drum lugs.

I bought a set of SBP Ludwigs that'd gone the other way. Chalky and lighter. Used Meguiar's Plast-X on them. Before and after. Big difference..........

I did notice some scratching on the floortom, but there were so many nicks and scratches in that wrap that it didn't really hurt.

I actually found about three small pieces of tape that I didn't even realize we're on there.

I will probably only use 2 on the tom and bass drum. If I use 3 at all it will be for really bad scratches.
