Geez, this is the 6th drum forum I'll be registered to & checking in on!!! Am I legitimately a geek? Every time I see my kids, they've grown a lot!

Anyway, I'm a hobbyist who does drum restoration and also builds new drums. Some of my restorations are to bring back the original glory of the drum, and a few will slightly alter the originality of the drum (gasp!) to a 'Tbone' version, as shown below. But this was a pretty obscure & unknown drum, I wouldn't be doing this to a rare 'classic'.

Also below are a few of my new 'custom' drums.

Anyway, hope I can contribute a little worthwhile info here eventually.
