Change of plans... Since I received a Champagne Sparkle Downbeat snare for Christmas, I've decided to base my next set around that color. Funny how one piece can dictate the direction a project goes.
I need a 12" tom with a single, center-mounted double-end Bowtie lug, like Club Dates had. An earlier WFL tom would be just fine, even preferable, even though that drum would predate the "Club Date" designation.
There's PERFECT 1965 Champagne sparkle tom on eBay right now, but I can't bring myself to pay that price--yet. We'll see what's available. If I can get away with a re-wrap for much cheaper, I'll do it. This is to be a player's set, not something worth a great deal of money.
Nickel hardware is preferable over chrome...
Thanks,
