Hi guys, forgive me for posting non vintage drums here but thought some of you might be interested in this.
Last Jan. I bought these Pearl Forum drums from a customers Grandson. He had tried to paint them years ago and was just wanting to get rid of them. He says they were purchased new in 2004. The drums came without heads and were in several peices. The post that hold the toms were not in the box of hardware so I decided one night to make a "virgin" bass drum. So I filled in the holes where the mounts go on the bass drum and the 13" tom. Sprayed the inside of the drums with a white lacquer. I used a candy purple pearl mixed into a level sealer to get the color, then topped it all off with a two rounds of gloss lacquer. I think they look pretty cool, cant wait to send a pic to Chris (the Grandson) down in Nashville so he can see his old kit. Any way here are some before pics.
