Very nice kit Cool1

Thanks for your comment on my topic :)

Ok so this kit is finished and what a pleasure it was to work on. The kit had clearly been gigged heavily but was well looked after. The wrap is near perfect except for very slight uniform fade and a few fine cracks in the FT wrap. The chrome is great and apart from some heads, a couple of washers and the BD logo it's completely original. Oh, and I repainted the BD hoops. Such a nice kit.

Just trying to see if the last owner can send my some photos of the kit in action. I did see some at his house.

Ralf - here is a photo of the bongo mount inside the drum.

Thanks Andrew. First time that I see such a solution for fixing bongos.

Appears to be the genuine construction, isn't it?

I'll never stop learning new things on vintage drums.;)

NB: great job on making these drums really shiny again!

band members in the day always were on the hustle to put together there gear as with each of us back in the day it was cool to gather orphans and give them a new look and a new home im sure we all have a tale or two to tell about that...

cool kit of course keep it that

Great find and great restore! Did anyone have better chrome than Premier? I think not.

Meazzi Hollywood out of Italy's as good...maybe better!

I have a hi hat and snare stand by them I am going to sell on Feebay Soon.....

I heard the Euro plating is better,as they use 220 volts instead of 110 here....

It's got to be up there. I haven't seen the Meazzi to compare. I've had good results from the Slingerland drums I've cleaned up. My 64 kit has near perfect chrome.

All kiddin aside / I really like yr snare
