Stevo,

Beautiful drum, many congratulations on what looks like a realy clean one. I have that in wmp, been looking for a nice cow for a while but not come across one nice enough yet.

I must take shots of mine and post them.

Put up a few more shots.

Thanks for the nice comments fellas.

And yes John it is the one from Wichita, put a bid on it early

not expecting to win, actually did get outbid but the guy withdrew his

bid at the last minute. Maybe his wife spotted it LoLoLoLo

When I got it it was covered with 40 years of grime and the top hoop

had a slight bow in it, looked like it had been dropped at some stage.

I dent knocked the top hoop with a rubber mallet, stripped the whole

drum down and cleaned the shell and all parts with metal polish.

A lot of elbow grease but It came up nice.

I'm really happy with it!

Stevo.
