I got these for a song but I sure put a lot of elbow grease geting them to look how they do!

Lucky, buddy well done what a goregous kit. but you've committed the cardinal sin!!! Dw stands with a vintage slingerland kit,, and of course you know i'm joking, since i have DW drums and hardware also!!!

Well I guess I am going to h e double hockey sticks!! I wave my dw flag high.
Thanks

Very nice looking set, Lucky! Well done!

What did you use to polish the chrome? did you give the shells any special treatment? and what heads did you put on?

Looks great Lucky, nice job!

I used novus#2 on the shells and flitz on the chrome. I have not bought new heads for them yet since I really want to go with calf and don't have the bucks for it right now. I put some used G1 coated on the batters and real used coated ambassadors on the reso's and they sound great. Aquarian sk11 on the bass and the original reso, its a little beat but it is real thin and it sounds good. Just put a vintage A on the snare and I am loving it!!
Thanks for all the great comments!

That set I just posted ('69 Psych Red)has all vintage hardware, but as far as I'm concerned, that stuff is only good for vintage period-specific shots and has no place on the stage(or even practice room). I use almost ALL DW hardware, stands & pedals. It's bulky but doesn't fall apart EVER! Just picked up matching set of vintage CAMCO bass/hi-hat pedals also. Was wondering this week, What did CAMCO stand for?

CAMCO - Canada And Mexico Consume Oil
Class Action Medical Co-Op
Cymbals And Moraccos Contribute Options
Canadian American Music Company
Can Anyone Master College Ornithology
Capitalistic Americans Murder Corporate Obligations

Oh Boy, here we go! Do we need to move this thread to the front porch?
You googled that, didn't you. That's still a new concept to me...ok, google let's see...
