New Guy, an old set, and a ton of questions Last viewed: 1 day ago

Posts: 25 Threads: 9

Hello, I have been a drummer for years... I just "upgraded" my old set to a new Sonor set. This is my first brand new drum set ever.

Anyway, I have this old kit and was hoping to get some info. I got it somewhere around 1988 and it has remained the same as the day I got it. (It was used and old then).

It appears these used to be some dual headed toms and the bottom holes were filled and the shells wrapped to make these beautiful concert toms. The 8 and 10 look to be homemade. The snare actually is cool (just need some snares, they are currently duct taped.)

The bass sounds good, the hoops don't match and there are claws from a slingerland on the front.

My plan is to remove this wrap and hopefully the paint in the inside of the shells. drill out the plugs for bottom lugs, cut new bearing edges, stain the set so I can see the grain. I was going to powdercoat the lugs and hoops black.

Here is a link to some pictures.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Information about my plan. Should I or do I need those tone control things?

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.

I was originally going to sell just the ludwig toms, etc... without the snare. I didn't get any interest here in phoenix. So I think I am going to use it as a second kit.

Shoot me an offer if you're interested in buying them.
