Here are some more pictures!

This is the last of the pictures.

the last pic what is the big piece of wood for?

Are they worth restoring? They'll never be worth as much as the sweat equity you'll have into them, but if your heart's into it and you're up to the challenge, they'd make a great player's kit.

I agree and don't agree, the drums are no Not collectors grade any longer, but as as a players kit. this Screams for it, the time and sweat, will repay you with a love and knowledge you can only get from doing a restoration! from what I've seen so far most of this is very simple to mediocre stuff to repair, REALLY!! you'll just need to get some proper tools, and ask away here, we can tell you what to do.

So how do you sugest I repair the baring edges most are in very bad shape? Also should I replace the inner layer of mahogany ply with a new layer, just take it all out and put a new layer in? Also what is the most popular color to rewrap the drums with in your opinion?

Thanks,

Also do you think I should go with the bever tail lugs or the 60's version?

from the pics I've seen of the bearing edges the gouges and marks that are there, just use a wood filler and fine sand after it's dries and cures,,

I'm usually a sucker for taking on "lost cause" projects like this just for the fun of working on them, but I'm not sure I'd tackle this one. The deciding factor for me would be the bass drum. That extra piece of wood that stretches from one re-ring to the other looks like the bracing that people would add years ago when they cut down a big bass drum into a smaller, more "modern" size. If the drum has been hacked up and re-sized, I might be inclined to pass. At the very least, I'd measure it really closely for roundness and check its rigidity.

The toms look salvageable, though!
