once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

It is pretty clean after a lot of time with Cape Cod Cloths. The wrap did not need much work at all. I traded out the top hoop with another drum which had a better one. This one sat for a long time and the dust that accumulated between the batter hoop and the head caused some stubborn discoloration inside the hoop.
