I just love your videos. As a senior citizen and player for 50+ years ...and a novice collector...it does my heart good to see younger folks showing love to older drums. You have quite the collection! Please keep up the great content for all us drum nerds. Many thanks Shawn!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Aww, I was hoping to see that kit reassembled.
🙏
Nice job!
Thank you!
Gorgeous! This is the set missing from my collection! 😉
thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
@@shawnsdrumcave I subscribed. Definitely my favorite drums channel. LOVE IT!!!
Wow. That was one funky dirty kit. lol. Killer finish tho. Gorgeous.
it sure was! haha thanks for watching!
Bravo! Amazing what some elbow grease, patience and ingenuity will do. Great job Brother!
Thanks brother!!
Nice job
Thanks brother!
Wow, this is great. I've always heard about Scrubbing Bubbles and Eraser... but watching this is super helpful. I've got a 12 14 20 Camco "Moire" kit that I might have to do this to. Even though I've lived in Nashville for 40 years, your accent makes me miss New England (specifically Providence), where I started. Love the fast forward edits, too. Thanks!
Thanks man! I couldn't hide where I'm from if I wanted too haha thanks for watching! Good luck with the camco! I'd love to get my hands on a set but never see them around here! Thanks for watching!
Shawn, I really enjoyed your restoration video. Thank you for taking your time and posting it for all of your subscribers.
Thank you 🙏
Nice job of cleaning man. That is a very cool wrap design worth saving. Nothing wrong with not being able for them to turn out perfect.
That's character man and there is nothing wrong with a little character.
Thank you! Absolutely! I've come to embrace the vintage "mojo" or character! Thanks for watching too!
Great job. Clean up worked well!
Thank you 🙏
WOW!!!!!
Thanks 🙏
Man, l like how you brought that trippy wrap back to life.
Thank you 🙏
I know your woman was like nope keep ‘em in the garage, not in here. Your fine in the interiors they were painted. Eraser is in my arsenal. Good work man, this was therapeutic for me.
It was me, these things had a funk to them haha good point too. Thanks brother 🙏
I frkn love this finish. Bucketlist drums for me. I even love all the defects. I personally love old beat up drums. Of course I clean them up also as best as I can. But scratches and dings… I didn’t do it. So I don’t feel bad about it. I love potted Supras too.
Same here man! Mojo! Thanks for watching!
Looks really good but the little scratches and cracks let’s people know they are vintage.keep doing what ya do love your vids.
For sure! Thank man 🙏
Very cool clean up Shawn! Can’t wait to see the assembly and the drums! Great find!
Thanks earl!
I've used toothpaste before on a new England white rogers set with bad tom rash on the bass drum and it cleaned so well in all the deep scuffs you couldn't even see it unless you touched it.
I've heard about toothpaste but have never tried it personally, next one! Lol thanks for watching
Every time you post a video I tell myself not to be jealous owing to the lack of any vintage drums in the UK but you've done it again with a Gretsch round badge I am now truly jealous !!!
It's a bummer stuff isn't available over there like here! Thanks for your continued support! I really appreciate it and if you are ever on this side of the pond you're welcome to come by and play anything you like!
@@shawnsdrumcave thank you for your kind offer I'll remember that, look forward to the next find you lucky thing mate !!
Damn they cleaned up well! 303 Aerospace protectant should help prevent the wrap drying out/cracking more, but test it on an inconspicuous area incase it’s not compatible or something.
Thanks! I'll look into that but I think the novus should do the trick as is specially made for plastics! Thanks for watching!
Those drums are so beautiful.
For sure, thanks for watching!
Man these were filthy, alot of work! Nice job Shawn!!!
Thank you!
Great watch as always.
Excellent work.
Thanks brother!
Also I’ve been told magic eraser is equal to 7000 grit sandpaper
Possibly! Thanks for watching man!
Dang. I wanna hear that sound dragon rip.
Oh you will! If I had all the parts I would have waited for the video, still hunting or waiting on a few in the Mail. I'm guessing a week or so, stay tuned! Haha thanks for watching!
Great video man. Would you recommend the magic erasers on old and yellowed Ludwig oyster wraps?
thank you! And I can't as I've never tried it. I have a whole different methods for wraps, You could definitely try under a bracket in a hidden spot. I would just start with cleaning it with lightly dampened sponge with dawn/water, see how much of the yellow is nicotine/dust or krud kutter is safe on wraps too. if it's yellowing in the wrap it's a good amount of work for varying degrees of outcome.
Great job. Let me know if you'd consider letting them go.
Thank you and sorry, already sold! Thanks for watching!
Shawn - I have owned a late 1970's Slingerland kit 6 piece kick and toms, no snare came with it - since I bought it brand new. Do you have any idea where I can get a reso head for the 24" bass with the Slingerland name on it? The original was white with black script lettering. Also, what they sold a young ignorant guy (me) was a Ludwig 6 1/2 X 14 wood symphonic snare with individually tunable snare wires. It was interesting but not the 8" x 14" snare sound I wanted at the time. Anyway, love you channel. Thank you.
I usually look on eBay randomly and see if there's any original heads for a decent price (under $50) if you look once in while they pop up but good deals go quick. if I can't find anything I buy remo smooth white head, remove the remo logo with nail polish remover or lacquer thinner and ad a decal off of eBay.
Nice set! I have several Slingerlands
Great drums and yeah I'm not a fan of the P87 stainer and the individual wires or the super sensitives for that matter. I like a simple strainer and wires and thank you! Thanks for watching.
Thank for responding. I appreciate your help.@@shawnsdrumcave
Why not Krud kutter on wrap?
No reason 🤷🏻♂️ it's safe for wrap
I appreciate you dude! Keep on going!
What are the drum sizes?
14 snare 12,14,20! Thanks for watching!
I'd start out with just Dawn and warm water instead of a chemical spray. Plus that brush will def cause a bunch of scratches on that satin finish.
Everyone has their way, tons of people I know recommend both to me, people that do resto's all the time, have used both with no harmful effects. The bush def didn't scratch it at all. Thanks for watching!
calm down chuckles, just a suggestion.@@shawnsdrumcave
@@tomkelsey2303 wasn't worked up man, if that's how it sounded that wasn't my meaning haha as I said everyone has their way, we all have the same goal! I honestly appreciate suggestions. I actually tried the Dawn by itself and was noticeably better when I used this stuff. Thanks 🙏
@@shawnsdrumcaveGood Lord!
“Calm down, Chuckles”?!?!?!
Don’t let comments like that make you think that we don’t appreciate you! Love your accent!
@@m.vonhollen6673 thanks 🙏 accent? What accent? Haha
text/comments can be weird, interpreted wrong easily. I'm sure tom and I would get along just fine speaking haha
while I'm "no expert" I do have a ton of experience working on drums, wood working, ect... I love the exchange of ideas which is why I said I do appreciate suggestions even if I don't use or agree with them.
if I were that thin skinned that I got offended over every little comment i'd have no business posting as it's the internet, it's bound to happen haha
Take care!
