I can't go check it out until I get a tetanus shot. LOL

But seriously, I know where you are coming from Kevin. We had my 90 year old father-in-law here for a few weeks this summer, being a child of the depression era, he loves nothing more than going to garage sales, and finding creative ways to re-use and re-purpose stuff. He would echo your "you don't know if you don't go" statement for sure, but it would be poorly translated from Polish. If he was ten years younger, he would get out his cutting torch and welding rig and turn that pile of drum junk into a giant robot sculpture or something.

If you have the room and time make him an offer . There lots a good parts and have fun building your own custom drums . Gong drums / snare would be cool .

Built something like these with the parts .

This was my last load and lots of great parts .

Planters ....

Here's a question for the MIJ experts...What year did Tama start lining their shells with schnauzers?

I really like your positive attitude Kevin always thinking of people in need

I also agree with Kevins

I am sure you can pull together a kit or two from the items. Maybe one to donate to a kid in need or young kid just learning to play. The fun is the build !

Guess they went with zola coating instead .I get these drum free all the time .Going to make a gong drum with it .
