OK. I drug um outside and took a few pics. I have been polishing for 3 days with Novus 1 and 2. The looked really sweet until I got them out in the sun! They really shine, look great, but I did not take much of the fade out as you can see. Well, at 44 years old I guess they should be faded some. I am 56 and I am faded a bunch! The 12 and the 13 look like they have been taking the low ride on the t-rods, with the hoops off, chewed on them a little. I was going to send them out to get the edges re-cut, but they would have taken a lot of material off to get them cleaned up. I could not do it! I kind of felt like I was sending a pet cow to the slaughter house. So, I started working on the edges today. Here are a few pics.

Indeed the 70's were incredibly hard on a resonant bearing edge as well as keeping a shell in round.

Looks like you are doing good work. Let us know how you are going about this process.

I had a beautiful set of Burgundies that I bought from Stan and Jerry over at Pro Drum in LA

unfortunately these are two of the only pictures I have of her

these were taken on tour in California circa 1999

Is that Flat Stanley doing some drum tech work for you? Great looking kit. Very classy.

Love burgundy sparkle.Just a real classy color.

Cool kit. Cool place to play also. (14 Below in Santa Monica);):cool:

This is what the edges look like after round 1. Starting round 2

Nice job on the edge repair, Tom! They're starting to shape-up real nice. Good save.

Hey thanks John. I have been polishing hardware most of the day. I have 20 claws, 20 t-rods and 3 floor tom legs left to do. Thank goodness! I think that I am getting polishidis in both hands. :D
