Crazy Custom 16 inch Club Date Floor Tom Questions Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 759 Threads: 176

So I picked this drum up for $40 the other day hoping it was an Uber Rare 16 inch Club Date Floor Tom and of course it wasn't. I snagged it anyway because it has some cool vintage parts and still seemed well worth $40.00. I do have some questions though. Obviously the lugs are Ludwig and the floor tom leg mounts are Olympic Premier but any idea what the shell and tone control are? Thanks!

Maybe it's just the photo angle, but it looks like there's no bearing edge, on that end, at least....

And looks like it was stained over with Minwax or similar.

It does have an edge but it looks flat from the angle and stain. It is a homemade stain job.
