Nice work. One possible addition I might suggest. During your "after" close-ups, I seemed to notice some scuffs and scratches in the shells. You can rub something called "scratch cover" or "scratch remover" on those blemishes to minimize them. It is basically a thin stain that wipes off the surface, just staying in the scratch to help hide it. Maybe you did that and the close-up just made the scratches more visible than they are IRL. Anyway, good work doing a nice, thorough job.
The lemon oil stuff worked great on my snare shell. Brought the color back to life. When the time comes to change the heads on the other shells, I'll use that oil again (took me awhile to find it).
Awesome video. Thanks for appreciating the old lugwigs and getting them back up to snuff. 3 ply ludwigs kick ass. Anyways, I’ve been looking for a video done like this so I could easily learn how to do this myself. I have two Early 80 tama superstar kits and some black and white badge ludwigs. I always get them sounding great but I knew I could get them better if I just took them all apart. Anyways thanks for putting this together and don’t give up on your channel bc your will be over 1000 subs in no time.
Anybody interested in fixing separated drum shells, use Titebond III and thin it out with water a little so the glue runs all the way down into the cracks. For tight cracks you can use a thin/medium CA super glue with an injector syringe to squirt it in the crack as best as possible. If in doubt just look up guitar headstock repairs and get a general idea of how to fix your specific situation.
Dan!! Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching my content! I have more videos in the works as we speak! Good luck on your collecting journey! If you have any questions regarding drums and percussion, don't hesitate to ask!
Thank you for the complement! I am located in the Dallas/Fortworth area. So if you're in that area then I'll be able to help you out. destination_percussion@gmail.com would be where you can send me messages and pictures of your kit if you are in the area.
I missed what snare drum you used. I like the high tuning you went with. Sounded good, whatever it was. Knowing my powers of observation in the past, I probably just missed the shot where you showed it. Ha ha
It took about 4 days for me to do it. In all reality, if you're not recording it and making a UA-cam video while doing the work It should only take about a day or two to complete. Thanks for watching!
@@destination_percussion I’m a Ludwig junkie myself. My drums have to be ludwigs, or I can’t sleep at night. I just am absolutely in love with them. I have a classic maple right now with a jazz fest snare and I’m tellin ya, that’s all I need in this life. Lol oh and I have to have remo heads.
Brasso is very abrasive. I try to use a non abrasive method of cleaning before stepping it up to something abrasive. In this case here I needed to step it up after the WD-40. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@destination_percussion thanks to you for the great tips and inspiration :) I have found an old Pearl made in Japan, a maple jazz kit that needs some lovin'...:)
Jeeze man my phone was having a glitch. Sorry about all the comments. Anyways yeah man definitely. I’ll be sure to pick your brain before your channel gets two big you can’t reply to all your subscribers haha. One question I got and how tight do you tighten the lugs? Just snug?
They always seem to sound better when clean.
True! Especially when you put the new heads on! Thank you for watching!
Damn that crome hardware shines! The hoop work was nice too.
Now cleaning Terry Bozzio drum kit.
He just donates his kit to 20 different schools and starts fresh.
Nice job on restoring the Ludwig drum kit.it’s glowing.
This was a great video, as I cleaned mine up to (the lemon oil really did the shells up).

Belíssima Ludwig !!

Well done mate, prob the best restoration video I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips on cleaning, 👍🎶
Awesome job! I really liked this video and collect the vintage stuff myself. I learned a lot here!
Amazing work, beautiful looking and sounding drums. And I love that your cymbals are dirty as hell 😅 sound better that way

Great job, kit looks and sounds great.
I would love to give all my drums to you for some work like that !
Great work and I can see your passion to this instrument , and the details .
Maple poplar maple
Very nice job!!
Shells are so beautiful !
Great video! Unrelated shoutout to you rocking a marimba as well :)
Thank you for the comment! Highly appreciated! Marimba has always been one of my favorite instruments (including vibraphone). Thanks for watching!!
Very good job!
Great video. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Make more videos

What a great work !
What did you use to dip the tension rods in before screwing into the lugs?
White lithium grease
Where are you located? My Sonor Force 2001 is in desperate need of an overhaul and you have the Ninja skills to do it.

Yeah I’m in Georgia 😢

I wish I knew about lemon oil about shell cleaning, instead of using an oil soap (which almost took OFF the finish).
Bravo!!!
I really liked your video! Tell me please, how do you clean the lags, what kind of remedy? Thank you!

What is the music that starts around 1:12?
That song is called Funkman. It's a "retro 70's funk track" thats copy right free. I slowed the track down in the video. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Your drumming sounds great.
@@ronjila Just made my day! Thank you for watching!

@@cigarro_oThank you…it’s great!
why wd-40 on hoops before Brasso?
Brasso is very abrasive. I try to use a non abrasive method of cleaning before stepping it up to something abrasive. In this case here I needed to step it up after the WD-40. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Just snug. If you over tighten your lugs you can do some serious damage.
What do you charge for big kits ?
Putting dirty lugs on a clear head can be a problem. Use anything but that. Lol
Great video....shame about the god awful music though !!!
