Nice. Mind if I ask what you paid for it?

I found it at a flea market near me under a pile of rubble. Ask the person how much he wanted for it , he said give me $5. So I grabbed it and ran.

Here is what it looked like when I put it in my truck.

$5 - snare what you see

$55 - top hoop

$25 - fishtail piece

The rest of parts needed I had ( heads, rods, key, wires )

The rest was all there.

Under $100, not bad in my book.

Love bringing back drums to life.

Excellent restoration of a fine drum! And, you got it for a song! Bargains can still be had, just takes a bit more time to find them now!
