The snare drum is cleaned and put together - in good company with one of my Gretsch kits here. I may tuck calfhide on the snare and the rest of the kit but for now I will use plastic heads - a used Gretsch Permatone here.The snare and the rest of the shells cleaned great. No damage to the red sparkle wrap other than a little fade and a few small scuff marks here and there - nothing of any concern. All the shells are 3ply and very good condition. The bearing edges are in excellent shape. Hardware is good - some rust - I like removing rust.....part of the fun.I like the bass drum hoops the way they are - with some of the paint worn off....I think I'll leave it like that.
