Sorry it's been a while!!
Thanks for your advise and replies.
I have just done one thing to this drum so far...
Gone out n played it!!! It is a little cracker! Really versatile, warm n responsive but it can give a good crack too when you tune it up. I put a coated Ambassador on top (the only snare batter head - as those on here who know me will quietly sigh at this point ! :-D ) I've been gigging it with my 70's Gretsch and the go together a treat :-)
Here are the pre refurb pics from when I got my hands on it I promised;
If anyone has any new info now you've seen pics let me know. It's allegedly a 1952 drum.
Cheers
