Vintage 60s Sonor Teardrop 20"x14" bass drum
Amazing looking Sonor black and gold sparkle bass drum. It's been well used and had some modifications but it's still gorgeous and I've made a few notifications to make it nicely useable.
All the bad points in a handy bulleted list-
- There are 4 screw holes which have been filled.
- There's an extra hole on the bottom and one on the top(I assume there originally was a second dampener) which I have just fitted a threaded air vents to cover them up.
- The spurs are random legs I found that fit one mount has been heliocoiled to repair the thread. Various non sonor wingbolts have been fitted.
- The paint on the hoops wasn't well done and there's bits on the inlay and one hoop has indents from accessory mounts.
- The metalwork isn't the best condition - half the claws/tension rods were painted black so there may be residue in the hard to reach parts.
- Various wee scratches and bumps.
- The front head has a ding which has pierced the skin and in general it's old and needs replaced.
