I'm looking at building a kit around my 1920s Ludwig Bass drum. Would this drum (see ebay link) be a wise addition? There is a crack at the badge/label but it doesn't go right through the shell. It looks to be of the right sort of vintage but would there better options for a project like this? And is it likely to accept modern heads? (although I'm likely to use the calf batter if it's in good shape) One of the attractions of this one is the very low international shipping on offer.
