Hey, no problem! It has to look like a professional did it. Its cold this morning so I will get it done this afternoon. Then I will remove the masking and get some new pics up on the thread. Should be able to ship out Monday no problem.

Please.... We need a before picture of the jazzfest.

Will do. It's a B/O Jazzfest shell and complete hardware (no heads or snares) that I picked up for cheap at an auction. It has silver sparkle wrap on it (which I will strip) so heads should go on just fine after Jeff adds the veneer. The J-fest has an early 70's 3-ply shell (with rerings, the later 6-ply J-fest shells didn't have rerings) and is finished inside with Granitone. The other shells have white interior paint, but I'm going to leave the J-fest interior with the factory applied Granitone.

This drum kit is going to look and sound awesome. I'm so psyched, I can't wait to put it back together, see it finished and play it!

John, I just finished your drums! I will take a pic after I get the masking removed.

Excited

Can't wait to see the photos! Nix that, can't wait to see them in-person!!!

Well as Tom Petty would sing, "the waiting is the hardest part"

Promise, these will ship tomorrow. But for now, look over the pics, you see ANYTHING wrong, I want to hear about it now. Need closer shots, you got it!

I know you said you were going to paint the interiors. I agree with the bass drum but I wouldnt paint that 15", its to nice. If you do, just dont tell me. Use coated heads and forget they dont match. Heck you have a granitone snare anyway.

Thanks again John, I cant tell you how much this job was appreciated.

Thank you, thank you!

Please tell me if you see something you dont like!

Jeff - The drums look great in the photos. I'm not going to be a stickler anyway, if it's got a few imperfections, it's all good. The kit is composed of 50 + year-old shells... they're vintage.

No worries... can't wait to see them in-person!

Thanks yet again,

John

Those shells are SOOOO PRETTY! I keep going back again and again to look at the pictures. John, with the hardware on that is going to be an amazing kit!

I see some specs of dust in the photos. Ya, I cant wait to see them with some chrome. It will be a really nice kit with a matching snare!

Beautiful craftsmanship! Love what you have done here.
