The three drums all have matching date codes in red ink of July 30 1963. The bass is unpainted, pretty dirty. The 12 and 14 have the red felt dampners. Lugs are all pretty poor. The finish on the 12 is pretty yellowed and the 14 is not to bad. The kick is really bad with cracking in the finish at the top of the drum. So the delema, do I recover them? The red gasket I thought was there, was really red and blue duck tap put on at one time to give that patriotic look? The one bad thing is where they removed the tape, they used a razor or some thing very sharp and there are these nice little cuts in the finish where they were careless. Frustrating.........The Snare is
serial number 70972, Aluminum. Chrome is excellent, just needs cleaned. The 14 had one original bottom head. So now what to do and how far should I go with it?
