Great projects! Beautiful WFL drums. You sound like you have a very understanding wife - that really helps when it comes to having lots of drums.

I've only been involved with restoring vintage drums (kit drums) for a few months and it's a great hobby. I can't think of anything drum related that's more fun than bringing a great ole drum back to life.

Way to go.

Cheers,

She is great! She is totally diggin this kit. She told me when I got it that she totally understood why and this kit was really cool and unique looking. My son and I quized her last night about parts of a drum, heads, etc. and she easily got an A and we were blown away...she really does listen to us...LOL!!!

Where was the gig? This looks almost like the "Backyard" down in hill country, but I'm sure it was local to you. Nice looking kit!

Keep an eye on him, before you know it, he'll be draggin' em home....just hope they all look like that...oh wait, he is still a young un...at least he has an eye for quality goods...Walking
