Thank you Manny for selling me these drums for a very good price.
I am about to do another project. Well actually, I have started on them. These are blue and olive badge Ludwigs, 12,13,16,22. They were re done twice, by two different amateurs. First upgrade, someone removed original wrap then painted them black. Second guy glued some almond color plastic crap over the black paint and did a horrible job. The drums look to be maple inside, but the previous owner thought a horrible white paint job would be an improvement. The outer ply is mahogany, too bad it was damaged very bad during the wrap removal process because that would be nice to just re-finish the shells. But instead the only way to make these look good is to wrap with new wrap or apply veneer. Veneer is my choice and for today and it is maple with a themogloss type of finish, but that decision could change very easily.
I dont want to bore everyone with a long drawn out thread, so I will post some pics when its done.
