American Kent-the last batches had either no edges cut or horrible,crooked ones.That,with a new round over edge cut,despite what looks like some moisture damage,will be a very nice sounding drum.You gotta love those glue blobs.....

Funny-the floor tom,especially an 8-lugger,is usually the hardest drum to find.

If that were my drum,I'd "bank"it and search for its siblings.

I have to agree with Tom on this one. This appears to be one of the last of the Kent/Jasper shells, and likely will sound great if you choose to roundover the edges. It can be done with sandpaper, if you have the touch. If not, find a local cabinet maker and kindly ask if they could put an edge on it for you. I have a 3 or 4 ply Kent 13" tom that has no edges and the lovely glue spots as well, but not the cool lugs. I am debating what to do with it as I have offered it for sale, cheap, several times. Looks like it will become a floor tom for another jungle kit re-creation...

I have just aquired a 3 piece Kent set, vintage 1968, in black diamond wrap, that have the coffin lugs. Any one interested??

Well now,I would hope that pictures are forthcoming-My computer has been down this week.

Damn.... THIS is why VDF is a kool forum!!!
