I posted a different question regarding a Pearl drum kit i found in our attic. I have concluded it is a 1950's model from the identification tool on this website (or I think?)
One of the wires has sprung??? I don't know the proper working, as I haven't a clue about drums; i thought they were so fabulous looking I wanted to clean up and do something with them??
Peace
Those are not 50's drums-they are mid-late 60's,due to the knob on the snare strainer and muffler having sharp-edged flutes.50's drums have Osaka-Tokyo on the badge under the Pearl logo.I do not believe Aqua Sparkle goes back that far,either.If the snares are bent they are pretty much toast.New generic ones are cheap.
After viewing the VDG I'd say 68/69 is a good bet.68 has the old lugs and 69 has the sharp-edged fluted knob.
You buy a new snare or not. Let the buyer decide what s/he wants...
Again, thanks for info....
Seems strange that the identifier on this site shows the badge as a vintage it's not, no matter... appreciate the help. I may have a buyer? May let them decide what to do.
Peace
Please look at the snare drum on the Vintage Drum Guide-snare drum pages-1966.That's your snare drum.And the rest of the set is newer.That's it.If there is a way of straightening bent snare wires and keeping them the same length as the straight ones,I'd really like to hear how it's done.If it's broken,just snip the broken ends with wire cutters,making sure the snipped end points away from the head.
