DRUMS REPAIRED FOR QUAY
THIS SET WAS MISSING LOTS OF PARTS AND THE OLD WRAP WAS ALREADY REMOVED. SO I SANDED IT, PUT TWO COATS OF STAIN ON IT, PUT TWO COATS OF CLEAR ON IT. GOT SOME NEW EVANS HYDRAULIC HEADS AND SOME USED BASS DRUM HEADS, THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WITH THE PARTS THAT WERE AVAILABLE. GOT ABOUT $300 TOTAL IN PARTS AND LABOR IN IT BUT I MUST SAY IT LOOKS GOOD AND SOUNDS GREAT.

I TOOK AN OLD 80'S LUDWIG ROCKERS DRUMSET TO WILD BILL FOR A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THIS DRUMSET BELONGED TO MY SON AND HE PLAYED THEM WHILE AT PERMIAN HIGH. WHEN HE WENT INTO THE ARMY HE LEFT THE DRUMS AT MY HOME. WELL AS THE YEARS PASSED THE DRUMS SAT IN THE BARN AND THE RATS HAD THIER WAY WITH THEM. SOME NEIGHBOR KIDS SAW THE DRUMS AND ASKED IF THEY COULD BORROW THEM AND THEY GOT TORN UP EVEN MORE. THESE DRUMS WERE ARE RUSTY AND GRIMMY AND THE WRAP WAS TORN OFF IN PARTS ON SEVERAL OF THE DRUMS. THE HEADS WERE ALL BEAT TO HECK. I TOLD BILL THAT I WANTED HIM TO RESTORE THESE DRUMS LIKE NEW. WELL HE DID JUST THAT AND TOOK ALL THE PARTS OFF THE DRUMS, REMOVED THE OLD WRAP FROM ALL 8 DRUMS AND GLUED NEW WRAP ON THEM, BONDING THE WRAP TO THE SHELLS CREATING RESONANCE IN THE WRAP AS WELL. HE WAS ABLE TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL COLOR. HE POLISHED ALL THE LUGS, REMOVED RUST AND POLISHED THE RIMS, REPLACED PARTS AS NEEDED AND PUT ON NEW REMO BLACK SATIN HEADS. THE DRUMS CAME OUT LOOKING GREAT AND SOUNDING FANTASTIC. HE POLISHED OUT ALL THE ZILDJIAN CYMBALS THAT HAD BADLY TARNISHED TO A BLACK COLOR AND MADE THEM BRIGHT AND SHINY. HE GOT ALL THE RUST AND GRIME OFF THE STANDS AND OTHER HARDWARE.
