After purchasing these many years ago I have finally got them safe to play. I replaced the plastic lugs with brand new ones, except the snare it still has the plastic lugs. Spent a lot of money on lugs and new heads but I think these special drums are worth it. I do have the 13 but it is also...
I have been wanting to add a 14x14 floor tom to go with my transition badge kit. Ideally I would find a vintage one that needs a finish job but that could take years and I would prefer to finish all the drums the same day so they all come out the same. That said I am considering on purchasing a...
Okay Im getting ready to polish some of the parts for the trans badge set, I searched here on DFO and found that simichrome and cape cod clothes are the way to go. So the question is do I use both or just one product.
Another questions would be, is the two 4x6 cape cod clothes enough to do a...
I just paid for this drum last night, should have it by the end of the week. Its a Leedy and Ludwig knob tension snare from 1951 (I think) with WMP wrap. The only drums I have ever seen like this was at Rockin Robins in Houston and they were ins a glass case as if they were super rare. Never...
Well, some of you know I picked up the Transition badge "project" kit from the for sale section here on DFO. I have the drums now and I am overwhelmed with the clean up needed to bring these back. This thread will go on for a while because its gonna take some time for sure. I dont have a...
Just purchased a 14" Ludwig Educator shell and will be needing leg brackets like in the photo, hole space is apparently 2". Also need lugs with 2.25" hole spacing, Clubdate style. Also will need a muffler and hoops/tension rods.
I have been practicing a lot and definatly notice some improvement. The only thing that is not working as good as it should is my right foot. But I am happy with my progress and find it to be very enjoyable to come down stairs every night and play my beautiful Camco drums( with a jazz fest...
I would like to try using the cymbal arm for my ride cymbal. Found a nice one from Steve Maxwell but it only fits 12.mm mounts. My Ludwig (and Camco) are 9mm. Not getting any results from google. Can someone please tell me where to find one? I would be fine with a vintage one as long as its not...
Made a smart deal today, this jazz fest for painting a 20" bass drum. The drum needs an original brass batter hoop but other than that I think it's all there.
Here is a look at what I've been jamming on lately. My restored Camco kit and my Ludwig Jazz Festival snare that I made myself and a beautiful sky blue pearl 16" floor tom that I purchased from a great member right here on DFO.
