Newly finished Zickos Supersonic kit

Posts: 358 Threads: 90

Bought this locally on CL a few months ago, and I just finished working on it.

Full album here: http://imgur.com/a/onmr0

Stripped the paint off but the shells were permanently stained beyond salvage, so I plugged a few extra holes and primed painted and sealed everything. Then I put edges on by hand, with sandpaper because you can't route fiberglass.

I put good heads on and I'm really surprised at how good they sound! Huge loud 70's rock tone. The kick is especially nice, and I wasn't expecting much out of these. Not my kind of kit, but they do sound really good. I'll be moving them along when I can get some better photos taken.

Excellent work! Is that a metallic automotive finish?


Thank you!

COOOOOOL! I like your choice of colour. Fits this kind of kit.

Bass drum makes me think of doing the laundry.

Just curious but why can't you route fiberglass?

Just curious but why can't you route fiberglass?

I don't know about chopped or layed-up fiberglass, but I know you can use a router on spun fiberglass.

Nice job. That color reminds me of a vintage drum color I've seen before. Just can't remember where. Cool design on them too. I like drums that are different like these.
