talk about saving one! wow. great job on what had to have been a ton of work. i don't recall seeing that kent wrap before. i thnk the carpet preserved it most likely.

wonder how many joints had been smoked prior to the shag carpet idea???

Wow - I've never seen that - the carpeting....kind of a mute-thing.....but I don't know if I like the carpeting haha.

I have a 9x13 Kent tom in Silver (looks Ginger-like) - with the blue foil badge. I use it with my late 50's Gretsch kit sometimes.

I like your snare - very nice job - beautiful.
