A real beauty! Great job by everyone involved. Is that a solid shell? Walnut or Mahogany? Those early Artist snares are works of art. Tone flange's are pretty cool. Very nice re wrap too!

Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

I'm not surprised. His work is really flawless and his attention to detail is amazing. He's a really nice guy, too.

Thanks very much, Jim. It's nice having this forum to display stuff like this. It's kind of like the "if a tree falls..." saying. There is little enjoyment in these restorations if no one gets to see them.
