Hey bedrock was that kit always a 6 piece or do you have the other bass drum cause I have the exact same kit but mine is a 7 piece double bass 22,12,13,16,18. Its hard to find out much about these kits. I've only seen one picture of them on Tamas history page.

No, but they aren't exactly "Vintage". I left the main topic in the Vintage thread so it can still be seen in there, but it's located in here now. Thats all.

[QUOTE=WU-TANG- DAN]ARTWOOD, UR KIT IS INCREDIBLE- i really am speechless, howd u do it????? [/QUOTE]

It's actually so easy to do, it's unbelievable.

I simply went to Jo-Ann (you know, the women's fabric and craft store) and purchased about 2 yards of camoflauge fabric for $10-$12 or so. The kit was already wrapped in black wrap. Which is very helpful in terms of both getting the fabric to stick to the shell, and making it easy to cut the fabric before the bearing edge, once wrapped (usually it's hard to do this with a standard wrap on a bare shell, or even worse, a shell that's had it's wrap removed, what with it's old glue residue).

Before I even wrapped the shells, I removed the tension rod threaded inserts from the lug casings, and spray painted them with Krylon Wrinkle Finish paint, which gives it a rough textured feel. Then I removed the lugs, and applied my usual wrap glue to the existing wrap, and literally wrapped over the wrap and badge with the fabric. I cut it of course under one of the lug casing spots.

I used a soldering iron to perforate the fabric where the lug casing screw holes go, so as not to allow it to rip over time. As for the green paint I only found one of this olive drab can of paint, otherwise the entire hardware would of been olive drab.

I made sure to scuff up all the chrome before I painted it, so as to allow the paint to bond, and as usual I used Bulldog Adhesion Promoter as my primer.

I expected the kit to sound like crap after I wrapped it, but it doesn't sound half bad with the Ebony resonant heads and the Ambassador batters. I may even go to clear Ambassador batters.

The kit is just for show though. I'm in the Army's Rock band, and we travel around a lot and do shows, so I though it would be neat to do a cheap travel kit that I don't mind if it gets beat up a lot, and looks good on our gigs.

Too bad the Army is getting away from BDU's (battle dress utility) and moving on to a different kind of camoflauge (ACU - Army Combat Uniform). So I'm going to have to re-do my kit in about a year.

Oh, and to answer someone's question, yes I am actually in the Army, they do not hire a band to perform for them. And even the guy that drives the Army funny car, and the super bike, those guys are actually in the Army too.
