Newest "Jazzfest" Reproduction...

Posts: 1819 Threads: 153

Just completed my latest (and probably last for awhile, until I get more shells) Jazzfest reproduction. As always, cut down from a 1959 WFL 10x14 marching drum. Cut down from the top, saving the original bearing edge and snare beds with the top reinforcement ring re-glued into place on top and new edges cut.

Rewrapped in Precision's Green Sparkle (that's on special still now, I think). All original Ludwig parts except the snares (new generic), throw-off (new Ludwig P-85), and reproduction B/O badge. Used Remo heads. I left the interior the clear mahogany.

This one will be for sale sooner or later... probably sooner. So, if anyone is interested, let me know.

Beautiful drum. I would love to have one of those in gold sparkle to go with my classic Ludwigs.

That's a great looking and now usable drum. As a marcher, it would have ended up in a landfill. Now it has a new life that more than likely last for another 40 years.

You've inspired me and I just purchased a 60's 14x10 marcher for my stab at a Jazzfest reproduction. You mentioned in another thread you cut the shell from top for a Jazzfest that's 5 1/2", drill another lug hole and just move the lugs down. Have you ever been able to use the leftover part of the shell to make a 14x4 Downbeat style snare? Do you mark the reproduction drums, so they won't get passed off as originals in the future?

I can't wait to see your next creation(s).
