Hi, everyone

I finally completed this 1930's Leedy project, so I thought I'd post a few photos. Sizes are 14x28, 9x13, 5x14.

Looks gorgeous! My 28" Leedy bass drum is thunderous and I bet that one is too.

Cooper,

Extremely impressive and eye-catching! Very nice preservation of a rare set. How about a reminder of the original condition and what you had to do to restore these to their present state? Whatever work you put into these was well worth it! Congratulations.

Ha! Yes...but this fine-looking lady all in full dress is so classy, I can't take my eyes off of her.

Well done, Coop.

Thanks, everyone! To be honest, I didnt really have to do much restoration, other than polishing the pearl finish and hardware, finding the correct hoops for the bass drum and adding a set of AK snare wires for the snare drum. This set was actually pieced together over a period of a few years, starting with the bass drum. The bass was so cool looking that I really wanted to build a set around it. Thanks to a few forum members, the rest of the pieces eventually came around. Now, if I can just find that floor tom! :D
