North Drums Sunburst Car Lacquer Restoration
A real crusty find that sat in a garage for years. Pitted chrome and the shells were thrashed. But have always loved North Drums, so I adopted them.
I re-chromed the hardware and had an auto painter give it a sunburst car lacquer finish. They looked brand new and definitely one-of--a-kind when I was done.
I used the drums for many gigs. They were a lot of work setting up. The problem with them is that all of the sound projects out, away from the drummer. So I would overcompensate and hit them hard and mow down the audience with sound. Ha Ha.
They were a fun ride. Finally sold them to a guy in Florida.
