In this video, I finally open up the shed to take a look at a vintage Carlton drum kit that’s had a seriously rough journey. After being damaged in transit by a courier and sitting untouched for two months, it’s time to see if this 1960s drum kit can be repaired — or if it’s destined to be parted out.

Join me as I inspect the bass drum, floor tom, and high tom, uncovering just how bad the damage really is. I’ll also reveal a very rare vintage snare drum, possibly a Premier Ace from the 1930s, and talk about its unique double-dampener, twin strainer and throw-off design, even finding a very similar drum on Ebay, which is for sale, in the UK right now.

Throughout the video, I check for shell cracks, warped hoops, missing lugs, and other issues that every drum restorer, collector, or vintage gear enthusiast will find familiar. Plus, I share a few tips on repairing old drums, sourcing vintage parts, and dealing with courier-damaged instruments.

If you love vintage drum restoration, vintage kits, or just like seeing some cool, old-school designs and catalogue photos, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this one.
