I have in my possession, a set that consists of a 13 Ludwig Classic tom with a B/O badge date stamped 75 (if I remember correctly), a 16 Ludwig Classic floor tom with a Keystone badge date stamped 74 (again, if I remember correctly), and a 22 inch bass drum that is a B/W badge Rocker. I'm guessing the guy that had them rewrapped the toms to match the bass (and did a very poor job). The badge grommets are cut off at the ends (on the inside). The toms have re-rings. They are 3 ply, I think. I'ts been a while since I have even looked at them (they are in my parents' basement about an hour away in cases). So here's what I am thinking:
Buy Classic lugs for the bass drum and 2 Keystone badges and install new grommets. Sand the shell interiors and re-lacquer them. Take the crappy covers off all the drums. Sand the fire out of them, and then..........and then: do a jonnistix glitter job on the and get them as close to a Ludwig Orange Glitter as possible. Perhaps a black base with a gold glitter.
Or I could just sell them.
The question I have is: someone probably ruined the value of the toms by rewrapping them and taking the muffles out and putty-ing over the holes, right? I have nothing to lose, right?
