I have had lots of drums that look bad when I get them,and when done,look almost new....
People have been amazed...I show them a drum I just got,and 2 days later show them again..
they go "Is that the same drum?"

my concerns are not the scuff marks, or missing parts but the sabatooge from adding alien mounts i go ouch when the drum is early 60's but i love the challenge and i do like playing a beater kit as long as its sounds good no one will try to lift it(steal) its very hard not to want to bring the show drums out unless u add extra security lol
April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I try to avoid buying anything that needs real skills to fix up (bearing edges, out of round issues, rewrapping jobs) but I have learned at lot so far at VDF and hope to try my hand at restoring a vintage beater one of these days... I've been lucky to find kits that were like out of a timewarp. I stlll have my eye on a Y-badge from the 60s that looks like it's new in the shop window (heads & all). For now I enjoy watching the masters at work here & dreaming. :rolleyes:

My 69 Ludwigs were flat out gross!
Had they not have been free I would have passed on them (and regretted it dearly).

Lucky for me they cleaned up well.
