The last exciting piece was to install the badges. The badges were in very nice shape. I coated the back of the badge with the green contact cement and applied them to the shell using the pressure of the laminant roller.

Here are the freshly applied badges.

Now that the badges are on its time to put on the heads and see what this kit sounds like. I put coated Ambassadors on the tops and clear Ambassadors on the bottoms. This bass drum got a clear PS3 on the batter and a white PS3 on the reso.

I have a Ludwig logo on the way for the bass drum head.

I had never played these drums to see what they sounded like. I got them in June of 2011 and just now finished them.

Here is the set put back together.

Spectacular results! The kit looks fantastic and I absolutetly agree with your assessment of silver sparkle; it is pretty well timeless.
