So...I picked up a 59 Ludwig bass drum, rack tom and floor tom yesterday for $100...and for the condition, I may have been ripped off...but I don't care. This will be my first full resto, so it'll be fun. I have a couple of questions for you guys...
Does anyone know of an outfit that came with a 14x22 bass drum, 8x12 rack tom and 16x16 floor tom? The bass drum and rack tom are both stamped DEC 10 1958, but no stamp on the floor tom.
The most obvious thing to notice is the funky rewrap job, incorrect cymbal arm mounts and stupid tom mounts added...so they will most definitely be getting some holes plugged and a rewrap job. As you can tell on the rack tom...some of the wrap is ripped off...does anyone know of a good way to get the glue off of the shell?
I'm going to be posting pics along the way...but I have a long way to go and am going to take my time. Oh yeah...and I will definitely be asking for advice!
