This drum must have been under someones bed for 50 years. It does have a relatively new Everplay head on it but it was probably only briefly played on.
It has fine nickel plating, only losing a bit on the throwoff lever. It was made just after Trowa switched to inch sizes and measures 14 x 3 1/2. Has a very nice red stained European beech shell and a perfect white silk swirl glossy wrap.
For philw: These original wires are made by setting the studs into plastic ends. The ones, I gave you instructions to make, would need to have metal ends with soldered in wires. You could also acquire a set of older Ludwig wires, that have the plastic ends and set the studs into them by warming the stud with a soldering iron. Someone on this forum will know which, Ludwig wires,I am talking about. You would need a set made for a 16" drum.
