Picked up this 1960′s vintage silver sparkle floor tom shell that will go nicely with the recently restored 14×24 kick. No hardware with it but it was in great shape. Cleaned it up and added the parts. Looks like new! Here are the pics.

Ludwig 1969 Maple Snare Project Notes & Sound Check
Here’s a video with notes about this snare and the work I did to get it back to good playing condition. The drum looks and sounds great! Really happy with how it came out.

Ludwig 1969 Maple Snare Project Slideshow
I bought this snare used several years ago. It was in decent but not great shape. This Flickr set has pics and descriptions of what I did to customize and restore it to good playing condition. Also check out video at youtube.com/cunninghamdrums.

Ludwig 1968 Kick Drum Restoration Slideshow
I bought this kick drum several years ago and saved it for a project. The time has come. It was missing a hoop, a lug and half the t-rods and claws. After some good cleaning and hunting down the missing parts it’s complete and looks great! I liked it so much I’m now working on a matching floor tom and rack tom… a never ending cycle has begun!
