It`s pop`n off the lug next to the mount too !!

It might be quicker and more permanent to replace those two parts with parts from the same assembly bin wich a few here sell all the time.

You`ll be hard pressed to fing someone, even durring inventory, to do two or three pieces.

One learnning question,...How in gods name did you keep that wrap from fadeing ?? You never see Psyc. red in that condition !!

You may be overreacting to a natural aging process, (this one piece isn't worth much worry). Replacing this part would be easier & cheaper than re-plating. If this peeling piece of chrome fell away, would it be that hard to live with ?

Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like a replacement part it will be. While I appreciate the natural aging charm, patina, etc., that type of thing would probably drive me nuts in short order.

BTW, the lug actually is OK. That's just a reflection of the bad mount (whew!).

I've heard that the red psychedelic is prone to fading. Fortunately, with the exception of occasional gigs, my drums have only lived their lives in various Wisconsin basements, well protected from natural UV light. Seems to have worked well over the past 43 years!

They usually end up red white and blue by now !! Keep doing wha ya doing cuz it`s working well. I don`t see any white anywhere ($$$$) !!

You gotta put a pic in the gallery so others can see a best reference of what psyc. red used to look like, new !!

Replacement is the way to go.

That kit is a [SIZE="4"]knockout[/SIZE]!

Well, I can see why you are concerned about the chrome.

THOSE ARE SOME AWSOME LOOKING DRUMS MAN !!!!!!!!!!

Makes the search for vintage drums a challenge dont it?
