Hi everyone. Today I picked up this red sparkle kit off C.L. The snare looks like it may have had a badge at one time. The drums were advertized as a sixties Star kit. It has very simular lugs as the Stewart kit I bought last week. Although this kit came with a chrome snare, the Stewart kit had a luan snare shell. The wrap on this kit looks pretty good but there are a few issues. One of the toms has split in the wrap, I dont think that calls for a re-wrap job but I will need to figure out a repair for it. Back to my origional concern, anyone think that the snare had a round badge at one time? None of the other drums have badges, wouldnt they all have the same badge if they were origionaly sold as a kit?
I have become addicted to drum hunting and restoring ,since June I have found and purchased a 1967 Ludwig club date with jazz fest snare SBP. A Stewart auqa sparkle color 1960s kit and now this red sparkle, no name mij kit. Oh and a couple of snare drums also. I plan to bring all of these kits back to life and then, well, keep, sell, I dont know! tHANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS RESPONDED TO MY POST, YOU ALL HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.
