On drums...

Gentlemen,

I have a 580 that I would like to disassemble, clean and reassemble. I was wondering if their are any good resources or guides out their in so I em sure to put it back together again correctly. Also, looks I may need to replace the isolation material between the lugs and the shell. Any suggestions?

I tend to get lots of "projects" that need some TLC to get back in order. I look at vintage drums like folks that work on old cars as a hobby. The restoration is part of the fun and buying less then perfect gear helps to keep the cost down; though finding and buying parts can sure add up too. I guess this a better way to deal with the mid life crisis rather then getting hair plugs, a new Corvette and chasing loose women.

Thanks!

Francis

Missed this post.
I remember the first time I did one. I was scared to death lol.

I think Greg would be the best one to help with this. It's been a long time for me.

There is someone on Ebay selling after market gaskets. They looked ok to me.
At one time I had a huge box of those NOS from Sonor. I will look to see if I have any left.

Not I. Cliff, perhaps, because he has at least one he can tear down. Nothing to it, I'm sure.

What if we did all have the same opinions?

I could sure use some gaskets, Kel.
I have a 13in Sig tom that needs all lug gaskets and a tom block gasket.
Also my 580 has no gaskets, but its serial number is 680, so it possibly never had gaskets.
