Round Badge 60s Gretsch Blonde Maple Lacquer Drums

Somehow I finished both these kits on the same day…

I had a long day at the workshop on Sunday and was able to finish two back burner projects I’ve had sitting around for what feels like ages. A blonde Round Badge 12/16/20, and a Leedy & Ludwig/Slingerleedy 13/16/20. Here are some photos:

They both had been just waiting for bass drum hoops to be finished, basically. Both these drum sets had been posted in the past but I pulled them down to do a little more work. The Gretsch needed more coats of lacquer and natural hoops, and the L&L needed proper hoops with matching inlays. And correct spurs, which I compromised on and decided to use chrome Radio King brackets.

Both are as of this writing now up on eBay and/or Reverb and/or here in the shop section.
