Hi guys, I picked up this neat drum the other day, just had to have it. The Sligerland book dates it between 1929- 1941 being on the earlier side due to the lettering etched into the badge.
I know what to do with cleaning and all but was wondering if I should keep the original snare wires and calf head. The snare side head is missing, it had a remo head on it so I know those will fit. But being a single tension design should both heads be either calf or modern? I have never tucked a calf head and would be fun to try it. Should there be a flesh hoop on the snare side? I think I see one on the batter side but Im not really sure what that is actually. I would appreciate any input or advice on the heads and wires. Not sure if this will be a tom for my upcoming Levon Helm kit or not, just bought it because it was cool, and priced very reasonably.
