once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

OK, I'm back from the P.O.!
Tom did an excellent packing job! Bubble wrap, double boxed, couldn't have done it better myself and I've packed a few drums over the years.
THANK YOU, Tom! Clapping Happy2
The drum:
1. Normal wear on hoops, clips and lugs. Some gold-tone has worn off, but it is a 90 year old drum! Looks great nonetheless.
2. The shell is dirty, but it will clean-up like new!
3. I have removed the gut snares, the bulb and the light fixture and put it all away for safe-keeping.
4. Snare head (slunk) has two tears in it, so off it will come.
5. Two screws missing for 1 of the lugs (the light fixture was attached to the back of one of the lugs!) and the strainer is missing a retaining screw and nut. I'm on my way out the door to replace them.
Here are some 'Before' shots. Enjoy! More to come...

Tom - Thank you, brother. She's a real beauty! Keep checking back so you can see what I do with her! I'm setting it up so it can be used as God intended... bing, bang, boom!
Tommy - I'll likely be up all night cleaning it - is right! Now that I have it, getting it ready is priority one.
Big Shout Out to Mike C for all the 'Postal' assistance! Thanks, Mike. You really helped to set my mind at ease when I needed it most.
Stay tuned... parts, hoops, and hardware are all being detailed as we speak...
