Restoration & Repair Examples

This 26” Bass drum was saved from nearly becoming firewood and the end result was quite spectacular. Finished in a Danish oil to bring out all the wonderful hidden grain, all the components were hand polished and nickel-plated to complete its authentic original look.


Ludwig & Ludwig 15” Pala snare drum
This drum was painted white by my uncle when he was a boy! I decided the drum should be restored to its former glory. The lugs are still to be nickeled.

Leedy 14” 8 lug originally built in 1946.
I bought it as a shell with missing Broadway parallel action, rusted lugs damaged hoops. After several attempts to find an original action, it was going to be more beneficial to make this drum into a playable Jazz –Beauty! Finished in Black Sparkle and Knickel Hardware, it looks as good as it sounds.

What do you do with a shell that has no hoops or Lugs? Send it to Rhythm Logic where I will customize parts to your requirements so you can have a totally unique drum!

This Premier Orchestral bell set was missing the entire damper system. A new system was built from top to bottom. It now works better than the original.

 


Percussion

This Conga had seen better days!. So many scratches through its lacquer, I decided to strip it right back to the oak and give it a natural gloss finish…… Still in progress.

Sumatran drum was treated with radiation at customs. New goat vellum was fitted with the original rope and the tying style matched.
