WFL Buddy Rich Snare Rescue

Loading...

Thanks guys! Gerald, it's still a little cloudy but it's the best I could get it this time. Here's what I did: soak overnight in dawn/water, then wash/rinse. Buffed out everything on a bench grinder with a cloth wheel and tripoli compound. Another wash with dawn/water to get the buffing compound off, then a quick polish with Mother's chrome polish. I tried Mother Mag/Aluminum polish, but that actually made them less shiny. It sounds like a lot but it wasn't bad for just one drum.

Wow... came out super nice! Like others have said, this drum looked like it would be "for parts only"! Congrats on bringing it back to life. Enjoy it!

Yes great work on this one. Man it looks beautiful. I really like nickel finish. Very classy looking. The Classic strainer is a really cool design too. A keeper for sure.
