Nice job. What did you use to re-wrap it? How does it sound?

Thick signwriting vinyl. It sounds really good, the 14" floor tom is a real unique sound and for a small kick drum it sounds huge.

Looks very, very nice! Love that you're using the bass drum anchor! And, yes, the MIJ 14"s can boom when they're set up right.

Great restoration!

Nice job! I've done a couple kits in that stuff, it's not bad if you take your time.
