Wow Amazing Shawn! It looks like it came from the Factory.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

thanks man!

[@donmundt3573]

Outstanding work Shawn! It looks fantastic! Side note, I can't believe how much you sound like Roger Cook from This Old House.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thanks! I've never heard that before haha all good, this old house is great!

[@BD-me4nk]

I can't wait for your demo of this kit. This video was loaded with valuable nuggets of info. Thanks for that

[@shawnsdrumcave]

thank you!

[@coreybondurant]

You’re an artist my friend. Simply beautiful restoration. Be well.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

I'm just a hobbiest but thank you! And you too!

[@jrfrondelli2023]

Nice work! Yes, amber shellac is THE proper finish for Ludwig clear interiors, and any OTHER drums that require interior finishing. Every single drum I've ever built gets this treatment. I usually mix the Zinsser amber and clear, but the net sonic effect is the same.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

thank you!

[@Tagger0325]

Sweet kit ..

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thanks!

[@ccdrums1290]

Wow, they look beautiful. Really nice job on everything. Your attention to detail makes a difference in looks, but also it should translate to the sound as well with precise bearing edges and the felt spring wrapping. Can't wait to hear them!!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

thanks man! from my initial beatings they sound awesome!

[@gretschludwigdrummer209]

Used the same shellac in my 68 bass drum. Great stuff! Always a good idea to seal the bare wood.

Shawn, You are so badass.. Watched the whole thing. Your Bonham kit turned out Fantastic! I did a Yamaha 8000 series last year. 24,14, 16, 18. I got the wrap from Precision Drum co NY.. I had the help of a handy friend.. Watching your wrap was pretty much exactly what we did.. It was a blast and the kit came out awesome. I love your videos man.. Keep them coming. You rock.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate it! Yamaha makes nice stuff!

[@doublea7054]

Nice work man!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you!

[@doublea7054]

Yes sir. What grommets do you use for reinstalling these ludwig badges? Thanks

[@shawnsdrumcave]

@@doublea7054 these I got off of eBay, drums on sale has them for 6 plys.

[@doublea7054]

Thanks man!

[@grandcrappy]

He prolly liked the Vistalites for the slightly harsher tone, but aggressive attack.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

The vistalites sounded great live! Thanks for watching!

[@grandcrappy]

Keep 'em posts coming.

[@scott_ireson]

Where did you get the second grommet tool that rounds over the edge?

[@shawnsdrumcave]

i got it on ebay years ago, whey pop up once and awhile. not sure who was making them.

[@philmadeira6303]

I bought a drum grommet tool from Bum Wrap- but yours is better- looks factory. Can you share how to make those simple tools? Thank you.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

The first one I used you can make out of stuff from the local home center. 5/16 counter sunk bolt with a nut washer and nylon washer. The second one I bought off someone years ago, I haven't seen them for sale anywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@Georgesavvas]

What was the tool used for reapplying the grommet? Thank you!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

One is that 5/16 countersunk bolt, the second one not sure how to explain it. Something I bought from someone online as a "grommet tool" but doesn't work well on its own which is way I use the two of them. Thanks for watching!

[@Georgesavvas]

Cool thanks man. Also the Tama key is definitely my favorite too. Great video and set up you’ve got my friend.

[@ryanwallace4686]

sweet

[@mellilore]

AFAIK they didn't glue the badges, but hey no one can see it, it doesn't affect the sound and if it makes things easier why not

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Keystones weren't glued but there's definitely some kind of adhesive under the blue and olive badges but like you said it doesn't really matter either way and thanks for watching!
