Okay, let's say the devil went down to Georgia and he was willing to make a deal. If he offered you any modern kit, any make, any wrap any customizing you could wish for in exchange for your vintage kit, no matter what make, would you trade? Remember, like me, you have probably spent hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours on your babies. Personally, at least twice a year, I take each drum of my old seven piece Star kit apart for a complete inspection. Every washer every bolt every t-rod every bit of all hardware is cleaned, polished, waxed and re-assembled. Every square inch of wrap is cleaned and waxed. Everything must be pristine before it is put back together. Q-tips and tooth picks are a must. I'm sure you guys are the same. Would you trade? Would you spit in the devils face?
