I can't wait!!!

I've done repairs on that type of finish. I dissolved a piece of similar matching finish in a acetone and painted it into the crack. Followed by wet sanding. Works great.

Yes, I did. They are pristine with the exception of really ratty looking bass hoops that were not Roger's. Also, there are several Fullerton era collet noses and a broken tom mount, not disclosed by the seller. Great drums but not a fun transaction.

Both Leedy and Ludwig & Ludwig introduced them around 1933-34.

It's the square lug type with the plastic base.

Great idea! Thanks!

Hi, Forumites! I recently acquired a Trixon Telstar set and I'm having trouble fitting standard heads on the bass drum. The T rods splay outward and jam up against the metal hoop of the head, making it impossible to attach the claws to the 20" wooden hoop. Aside from adding spacers or washers...

Another fantastic year at the Chicago Show. It was great seeing so many friends and meeting new ones. Got to meet Mike Layton in person finally! These shows go by WAY too fast! So much eye candy there, as well. My favorite drums were Joe Luoma's Abalone Pearl Leedy snare and Chris Ardoin's Full...
