So this was a free MIJ Bolero snare drum I got at a Catholic school 2 weeks ago after doing some computer contract work... it was in pretty lousy condition, filthy and incomplete:

I cleaned it up, probably as best as it's gonna get:

It's slightly out of round I think, but cleaned up surprisingly well and even more surprisingly, sounds pretty damn good!
