Mr.McMaul, Sir, I finally understand why I can't find anything in that lovely finish.

It is literally a few bits - more patching up than getting much for inlays, but it may help. Let me know if you still want it.
Mcmaul Posted - 23/04/2012 : 20:12:52
I could do with that wrap mate for a snare shell and some inlays, lad!! I also have an Elite in this finish, and lots of orphan toms, mostly 12"s and 14"s, and a few 16"s. Also my mahoosive 28" bass drum is on it's way over from that America!!
Brody Posted - 23/04/2012 : 20:03:17
Some lovely stuff there sir! Didn't think they used that wrap across so many different kits. I've got a few odds and ends of that wrap somewhere, which came off a knackered floor tom shell, so let me know if you need to do any patching up!
Captain Bubble Posted - 23/04/2012 : 12:26:16
Great haul Mcmaul!
Mcmaul Posted - 22/04/2012 : 15:04:29
Hiya B, I'm moving into a bigger unit soon, so I will find them then, as you know, I can't even get into my loft anymore, it's a Brown jungle!!
brinzo Posted - 22/04/2012 : 15:01:59
lovely stuff dug, ive seen most of em in the flesh, cracking idea to post pics though, did you find the schematics for the reno's whilst you were movig stuff around in the cave, ah ah, ps just bought an oldish premier kit dont know what it is cept red, i'll send you some pics, if you dont mind ?
Th0mas25 Posted - 21/04/2012 : 22:49:54
Wow! Some beautiful stuff there Dug, the darker ones look fantastic (and somehow look better if you think of them as 'Rootbeer swirl' instead of mahogany duroplastic... or just brown! )

I daresay a bit of an investment aswell if/when you punt any of them on. OK the market's a bit deflated at the moment but of all the vintage Prems the brown stuff has always done well thanks to the Ringo link.

I'll post some pic of my project soon, another Aqua shimmer kit... bit of a sad state and needs more than just a spit & polish, but should be nice when it's done.
