I didn't get any 'before' photos of this one. I rescued it from a flooded basement. Not only was it full of mud and human waste, someone had wrapped it in a white cabinet liner material. When I peeled off the material, I discovered the wrap and bade were intact, just EXTREMELY sticky!

Fabulous....you've gotta use that in a kit format. Very hip with the kids right now those big marching drums as a kick.

Thanks for the replies! The drum is a 28" by 10". It cleaned up really well. I sold the drum and am expecting it to show up in Steve Maxwell's store soon.The 'human waste' described is what you find when the city sewers back up into your basement ... I needed a HAZMAT suit for this one!

Wow what a find. Raised from the sewers. Fantastci job. Odd size but I bet it sounds great.

Just hurled my lunch into my lap. Thank you. Toilet

> I sold the drum

Dude! You didn't actually pass that drum on to someone else?

Did the buyer at least get a heads-up about what happened to that drum? Specifically, the poo-bath it took. I don't think it's possible to sterilize wood after it's soaked in excrement. I hope he don't play it out on a hot day... that bugger is going to out-gas and reek of recycled, week-old underwear!

Best of luck with your future sales... Falling Do
