Gorgeous drum and a great restoration.

I went looking for more on MetJazz, and they are fascinating drums. There is a great picture of an inlay kit in this thread on La Drummerie featuring Fred Bianci:

oops ... I had not seen this subject ... Thanks Mike, and thank you all for your comments!

Yes, it was a beautiful restoration !! ... You saw the snare restored, but here is some pics before and during the restoration ... Let's go !

Before restoration, it was in poor condition... all decors were unstuck, and wrap was retracted, some brilliant were missed, all lugs were unplated, rusty screws and other sweet surprises...

Thank you Vintagemore2000 !!

After recreating the decorations, I had to restore them because it was missing a few parts of decorations...
