Hi
I have been working on restoring my Ludwig late 60's/early 70's blue oyster (bowling ball) kit. Thought you might like to see some pics, I will upload more as I progress:
Before - This was taken the last time I had the kit set up at a jam session. The bottom rims/heads are missing and most of the chrome work is pitted and scratched:
During - Everything removed and ready for cleraning/replacement;
16" Floor tom treated to new legs, rims, tension bolts and mounting brackets. Awaiting arrival of new heads;
After - 13" tom complete with new rims and tension rods. All hardware and wrap cleaned up. Fitted with Coated REMO Vintage A batter head and REMO diplomat reso. Sounds amazing!!
I still have a lot of work to do on the kick drum but so far I am happy, its a work in progress and I am enjoying restoring them as much as I do playing them.... well, almost.
More pics to follow, as it happens.....
