Hello fourmers,
I have a vintage 60's teardrop sonor 3 piece kit that my brother gave me. He's a killer lead guitar player, song writer, and a God of sound engineering. I also have a 68 Hollywood Ludwig kit. I bought it from a dearly departed friend of mine's son. My friend Cliff "rest in peace" used to brag about his Ringo Starr Ludwigs. He used to say the actually belonged to Ringo. lol Well I drug em out a few weeks ago and decided to set them up in my living room. The Sonors were in the same closet so i decided " what the Hel. Might as well do them too, my livin room looks like hel.
I have had a saved search on ebay for a floor tom for the sonors for 3-4 yrs.
Well after I got em out I started searching and found the floor tom on craigslist in canada for $250. I finally persuaded the guy to put it on ebay so i could buy it. It will be here thursday. In the mean time Im searching for a snare for the luddys. I went pawn shopping and bought 4 metal snares.
thats will b e another mission laater. Cut to the chase: I bought a braand new 14x5 Ludwig Wood snare on ebay. I have matching Luddy wrap for it and wrap for my so called rogers floor tom comming form jammin sam. I'm about to embark on a restoration journey. I really need to polish the chrome on everything and polish the drums. Please tell me the precedure you use to polish chrome and drums. What kind of polish? Do you completly disassemble the drum? Any advice will be appreciated!
