No doubt. I ended up dropping a buck fifty at the parts church, but I grabbed some extras like moon gels, felts, and tid bits included in that price tag. Hopefully the kids get at least 150 for it when I croak! I may have to put price tags on the insides of my drums, and the bottoms of the cymbals so they don't screw that up! LOL

Spectacular! Congrats on both ends, Jeff for great work, Dan for getting back an awesome looking snare. I've been cycling through my kits lately, trying to give every one some use, but I keep coming back to the mahogany kit that Jeff did for me. That extra ply of mahogany worked some kind of magic on the sound of those old 3-ply mahogany shells. I don't know why they didn't make 4-ply mahogany shells from jump street. I love mine. Dan, enjoy the drum for many years to come...

John

Too many great drums to list here!

Thanks John.

I just wish I could have posted better pictures for Jeff's sake. I tried to send him the pictures last night and that didn't work so I hacked around to get these two on here today. I have no idea how some guys post a thumbnail and when clicked, it is a bigger picture than what I have on here.

I am also still waffling over putting some die-cast hoops on that thing.....LOL. I wish I would have just done it when I was there!

Just stumbled on to this old thread. Ya, Dan was trying to email the pics but it just was not working. But the pics Dan posted are good, small but still good enough to get the idea.

Your welcome Dan! Thank you for the Slingy floor tom that made my kit complete!

And thank you to all of your nice comments, I do appreciate them very much.

I have bought parts for my Zebra kit from DFD, I bet that is a cool place to visit!


Thank you!
