Here's a work in progress.

Still to do:

-Replate (nickel) t-rods, FT legs and mounts, BD legs and mounts

-Finish cymbal mounts: to avoid slipping and rattles while maintaining the look, these will be one piece non-adjustable sized for me.

-Finish BD hoops.

-Locate and refurb as-needed the butt end of the clamshell

I have a Krupa hi hat and AA Pedal that are due for some work next.

I'm on the lookout for 2 period Slingerland cymbal stands.

That is one hot kit! The floor tom looks more bluish to me. Probably just the pic. Beautiful drums. Congrats.

The drums are actually nicely color matched; the whole kit looks bluer in the photos than in real life. The photos look more like the pre-faded color that you find under the lugs etc.
