RESTORE ITS POWERS IN ABOUT FOUR HOURS

BEFORE:





AFTER:





Sorry about the lousy "orange-ish" pictures but since it's raining felines and canines around here, I had to do my photo shoot indoors, and the wood walls in my house always give the nice, shiny chrome parts a horrible orange tint.  Hopefully you get the idea here.  The dull, cloudy chrome is now bright and reflective as it should be.

I chose this snare drum because the parts were all there and it was in superb overall shape.  All it needed was a good polishing and some new heads.  This is another "Made-in-Japan" generic wood snare: 14x5-inches; no badge; lightweight "stencil" parts; thin luan shell.  The process of completely disassembling the drum, cleaning it and putting it back together takes me about four hours.  Now this drum looks brand new, plays well and has at least doubled in value.

If you happen to have any old drums lying around that need some love and attention, why don't you let the misplacedmtnman work his magic on them?

The snare drum parts were all there, mpmm, but I'm not sure YOU are all there!
