Hi everyone, …well, ….I'm going to start this with the basics, and some BEFORE pictures to get you all going and whet the appetite
I now own the following:
-6.5x10 granitone concert tom (to be concerted to dh) must get parts
-9x13 granitone concert tom (to be converted to dh) I have all parts
-14x16 granitone concert tom (to be converted to dh) I have all parts
-14x16 clear 3ply double headed tom (no, not a floor tom, a double headed small classic lugged factory pointed b/o badged double headed tom!! ....with .....a CLIP MOUNT! )
-10x15 1969 clear 3ply 'Challenger' snare drum: All original, …for now!
WAITING ON:
14x24 clear 3 ply kick ...oh yeah....VIRGIN! I just have to hook up w/ the guy...we live about an hour apart so, it's been tough.
I will be recovering these (they are a mix of Silver Sparkle, Mahogany Cortex, and Black Cortex) in Red Sparkle (thin stuff found on eBay). Our fellow DW member Karl Crafton is doing a similar project w/ one of his own kits with this stuff, (he got Silver Sparkle) and he says it's pretty dang easy, and it looks great!
Now that you know what I'm planning ….here are a few before pictures. For now, these are just the shells, minus the big Challenger snare. I'll add those pics soon, but here are the shells!
Enjoy …the fun part will start soon!
