This drum is in overall great condition! It's extremely uncommon to find green sparkle drums of this age with no fade. All of the nickel plated hardware is in great, fully functional condition as well, with average wear.
The interior date stamp is quite worn, so I can't tell what the month or day is, but it's definitely 1958. The shell is in round, and the edges are near perfect. It's an amazing looking AND sounding drum!
If you review all of the photos, you'll notice a few weird details on the drum:
- There are 2 patched extra holes hidden under the diamond plate mount. The diamond plate mount is unoriginal and chrome.
- The badge was removed at some point. The drum used to be slathered in white paint!! The owner before me removed the badge (kind of sloppily), and also removed most of the paint. Then, I removed the rest of the paint, and shined it up so it looks like new now! The wrap and badge are 100% original.
- 1 tension rod is unoriginal and chrome
