Certain eBay listings really get me going...

"All hardware removed, steel wooled and polished

New Ludwig Upgraded mount brackets installed"

The above mentioned quote was part of this place's professional restoration. I am not the most experienced one here but to me that is a last resort method (steel wool). For the price they are asking I would want 100% original.

Some people evidently don't know the #1 rule in drum restoration. They will likely learn their lesson with the listing - we hope. We must boycott this kit!

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

in some circles, real fine j e w e l er's grade steel /(brass)wool are used in metal polishing...just saying i dont know the listing

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
