So far, I have only changed the batter side bass drum head and added the felt strip. Havent cleaned, polished, or restored anything as of yet... tell ya the truth, dont think i really need to do much.
Floor is a 20" and still has the original heads from what i can tell. I will probably end up selling this and try to find a more conventional floor tom (16x16). Dont know yet...
Anyone know how to effectively tune a floor tom that big?
"Clearly" an awesome find! Sweet thundering tom that's a big drum there... What was it Joe Morello used say about tuning drums.. "I tune mine to the key of Joe"... or something like that. :)
Just sharing a link... for conversation sake.

Nice drums. Teasing us, though. Find = $$ ?? Paying $3000 isn't a find. Divulge if you can... thanks.
WOW. Great score and they look in fine shape. That 20 is a big boy for sure.

That was a good read. Very detailed! I'm going to put a pinstripe on it and see how that sounds.
I was one zero away. Wow that is a find. Congrats. When will it be my turn? :)
You can sell that floor tom for better than 300.Were you wearing a mask when you "bought " them.:):):) Great deal.

Is it still robbery if I used a cap gun?
Brew - You can probably get $600, or $700 for the 20" floor tom alone. It's a -rare- size. Enough $ to by a 16" and a round of new Silver dot clear heads for the entire kit!
Great score brother.
