I found this drum in a pawn shop along with a blackrolite. The wanted $79 for the blakcro and threw in this one for free. So I feel like I have nothing in the original investment. It will be the coolest looking one I have when im done and probably the best sounding. I am still debating on the snare wires........
They make brass wires also.

I was going to finish this this morn and use chrome tension rods till my brass ones come in. I have a b/o badge and a keystone badge. The b/o is brandnew and the keystone is old and slightly scratched up. The badge that came off of it was a b/o and was really nasty lookin. I dont want to misrepresent this drum, but I really want everything to be perfect. I went to lowes and bought new stainless steel 6-32 screws, nuts and washers for the butt plate. Got new evans heads ready to go on. Brand new muffler ready. I decided to order a Brass Keyston Restoration chicago badge. Ill just have to wait a few more days till completion..:(:(

Well hell!!! The vent hole on a b/o shell is about 1//4" higher on the shell than the keyston badge shell. The keystone badge would be a little too high on this shell. I just happen to have a brand new b/o badge. HmmmmBump
