I started a '58/'59 Transitional Ludwig Super Classic restoration.
I think this is a Buddy Rich model.
WMP shell is about 5.35"×14" (Not 5.5"!) and still beautiful!
Shell, strainer, lugs are so-so condition.
However,
- Missing a NOB batter hoop
- Bottom re-ring is started to crack(I'm thinking to bring a drum shop)
- Not original tension rods (original rods are 2 1/4 or 2)?
I need your advices. Group Hug
1. How much does it cost to finish the project?
2. What is the best shell cleaner(GROOVE JUICE Shell Shine)?
3. Any other advices?
Thanks,
