Hey folks,
I'm new to the site. I used to own a '53 Sky Blue Pearl Round Badge Gretsch Kit that I restored and sold to a guy in Spain on eBay. Since that, I haven't restored a drum and I'm looking to get back into it.
I'm just looking for a wooden snare of any kind to restore, although I prefer Ludwig or Gretsch. I could even take a marching snare. The condition of the drum really doesn't matter to me except that the wood must be in good condition. I haven't re-cut bearing edges before and I'm not looking to start now. Other than that, I'm not partial to the condition of the wrap/paint, lugs, rims, hardware, etc.
So, if you have a drum laying around that you haven't done anything with for a while, consider selling it to me. Thanks!
