Well I'm going to work on this one while I'm working on Larry's snare.
I'm not going to refinish anything on this snare. I'm going to clean the metal parts and get them functioning perfectly and just put original parts on regardless of nickel or chrome...it's gonna be my "Rat" snare. :)
BTW the inside and bearing edges look like they just left the factory, this is a VERY sound drum. Really pumped for this one.
