Contact me directly at budsmusic@hotmail.com.......This channel is here to help others in the vast drumming community with repairs and general restoration tips. Over the past 50 years working on drums and other instruments has helped me gain a pretty good knowledge of repairs and restorations. I get questions from my fellow drummer friends about how to do this or that and thought that this channel might answer a few of those questions others may have. Thanks for tuning in and if you have any ideas or questions, I would be glad to give you my take. Lets get to work!

Hola amigo! Greetings from Costa Rica! 😊 Thanks for sharing these videos. I simply love al these stuff! I have recently started to repair an old drum set I have. And I was wondering, do you recommend using any oil inside the shells?
Cleaning vinagre is algo a great help to wash away the staining on the hardware.
Hi. Just had to refer back to this because my long spade is too long for my 20 bd.
Sections of the video keep repeating.
Ludwig now has the original 18 strand metal end snares agin.
If you're looking to get rid of that Tama 6.5x14 maple snare, let me know. I had that in Piano black 20 years ago. Loved it.
Longer format! You should have videoed opening your wife's sauce can lol Thanks!
Amazing tips sir
The big difference between the P83 and the P85 is that the front piece on the P85 is made of chromed pot metal while the P83 is all steel. On my pre-serial badged Jazz Festival - see th-cam.com/video/mt6O2IdKXZA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TbRX12PBmHGYaJ7I - I have an early P83 with the letters “WFL” inside a keystone shape rather than the “Ludwig” in script. I have a script-lettered P83 on another drum and a later P83 with “ludwig” in the modern letters. I of course also have a pot metal P85 on a mid-70’s Acrolite, too. The black face on that P85 slide is actually a sticker, not black enamel. I wish it were enamel but it isn’t, and if anyone has proof positive that any of those blackface P85’s were black enamel, please reply.
That's a sweety!
I have a 1967/68 ... I can not find replacement snares to save my life... Ludwig changed the snares after 1969... Ludwig offers replacement snares but they Do Not Fit pre 1969.. Can you help me find some? Thank you for your time.. Have a blessed day..
After making this repair, how long should you realistically expect the glue to hold up before the drum needs replaced?
Thank you sir! I spent a fruitless evening trying to figure out how it went back in. Turns out the problem was that the mainspring had kicked out of the notch so that the breech block would not lower enough to extract or feed a cartridge on a .32 Long.
Great Video !! Does Remo still Make Rototom's ?
Beautiful drum!! And great restoration!
Nice work.
Bruce, another beautiful job on a beautiful drum! I love watching your videos with a cup of good coffee in the morning. I wish you would have included the clean up of the the COB hoops even though you have shown it in other videos. I've restored a bunch of old drums over the years and generally they turned out very nice. I've always cleaned or replaced the mounting screws and now I regret it--I should have done it your way. I'm 75 and it is still a matter of live and learn. Thanks Bruce, keep 'em coming.
Well thank you very much Duane! I enjoy doing the vids even though it is a lot of work. I find I do even better work now that I am filming it. I can't very show how to vids half ass can I ? Great to hear from you Duane and keep chiming in. Cheers, Bruce
Three thumbs up! Great job Bruce.
Thank you kindly Russ. It was my pleasure. Cheers, Bruce
Beautiful drum, great job as always Bruce! I used scrubbing bubbles worked it in with a little brush like you did. Several ways to skin a cat as they say.
That's it... Scrubbing bubbles. That gretsch set you did was in real bad shape, and when you were done it looked great. Thanks for chiming in Shawn. Hope all is well brother. Cheers, Bruce
Have you done a video on how to straighten out snare wires? Great content. Nice job.
Thanks friend.... I should have showed that. It is a hit or miss kind of thing on that. Not always successful. Thanks for being here and commenting . Cheers, Bruce
That is a really beautiful Camco drum...and also, apparently, an unloved Camco drum. A loved drum gets played...and that drum was very rarely played. The previous owner may have kept it well...but didn't play it. Hopefully, now that you have breathed some new life into it, someone will love it and play it like it was made to be played.
Glad you like it. Yes it was seldom used and in very good condition. Thanks for tuning and commenting . Cheers, Bruce
Wow! That's one beautiful drum now, I've been more and more curious about CAMCO drum's recently, I'd heard about them years back but never really took notice. I'm taking notice now, after watching a few of your videos I'm becoming more interested in the quality, which is obviously very high and considering the other manufacturers of the day, they appear on another level. It's like when Premier drums made their chrome over aluminium shell's, they were made flawlessly and lasted really well, something other manufacturers didn't really master. Thanks for the brilliant video.
That is why I do these vids sir. Share the knowledge and get others hip to what is "really cool" and what is going to be a great investment. You are going to have to step up and pay the piper for these drums, but they are only going up in value so dig deep in the pocket. Thanks for being here and commenting. Cheers, Bruce
@@vintagedrumrestorationgara91 my pleasure, yes there's a channel on YT based on Germany, there's a guy occasionally comes up with vintage drums and he's posted a couple on CAMCO, an Aristocrat and a COB of the same variety, he's had problems getting the throw off back to working order, but managed it with the help of his dad, that was the wooden one, which he said retails at 5000 Euro's!! So yes definitely valuable drum's to own and very obviously high quality at that. I've been looking on eBay as my contacts, outside of retail like Rusty drums' is pretty much limited, I see there's a couple of Tuxedo snare drums on eBay, which look great. I'll probably need to save up even for one of that kind! Thanks again for the work you do and presenting it to us viewers.
Love it!
Glad you are here BC. Cheers, Bruce
I have this pedal. The spring adjustment just spins and doesn't adjust the spring tension. Any ideas?
Glad to see you had as much fun as I did messing with this.
My accent throw off on the vice it would get wedge on the bottom so I bought some gorilla glue and put a washer and glued it with my 4” c clamp and left it overnight hopefully it works
These I may have thrown away! Great job Bruce and great teaching as usual. Did you make it to the Chicago drum show?
I would take either of the two Eddie Knight drums. I took lessons from Eddie when I was younger. The first set I ever played was the gold moire set that was in his studio. Thank you for the shout out to Eddie. He was a great guy. He played my wedding. and my mm's prom. Eddie passed in August of 2021. He is dearly missed by his friends and students, which I am proud to say, I was both. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of all drum brands, but he was a Camco expert. He was close friends with George and Elsie Way and had a lot of George's stuff. His collection was museum quality. Your video made me very nostalgic. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks for sharing, you helped me figure out how to clamp my 12" tom that gas a similar crack like that last one you did. It was from a drop when I just had got the kit. I remember that I searched for any damages and couldn't find any at first. Only much later, when I was disassembling the drum for an overhaul, I found the crack and the reason why that particular tom was giving me such a hard time to tune...! Well, you live, you learn...
Those black rubber rounds look like a drum head practice pad/sound deadening device? Or I may be wrong. Anyhow, cheers 🎉 mate.
The throw off handle on the p85 looks a little longer than the p83. I have a old WFL snare drum with the p83. It needs the correct throw off handle. Mine is straight and doesn't have a bend in it to accommodate the head hoop sticking out into it. My drum is 5.5" tall and I think maybe someone swapped a strainer from a 6.5" tall drum, maybe? However I need to buy just a handle and i would give this one in return, as well. Any recommendations on a good source for one? I need it because it is binding badly from having gotten bent over the years from that poor clearance of the head hoop
Those turned out great Bruce! Good for another 50+ years!
Great restore work, Let that set sing with some coated Ambassador heads, 60s 3 ply sing with them.
I sure think something like this would be so much fun to attend. Thank you for taking us along with you.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
It was really cool and I am in for the next one for sure! Glad you liked it!
@@vintagedrumrestorationgara91 I liked it immensely.

Wish we had a (Drum swap meet) here somewhere. I’d be there first, too! Thanks for the video.
I know BC, this is a first for me too. It has been going on for some time and I just found out about it. Great hang with the drum brothers. We are one!
Love your content, keep it coming!! I wanted to ask, what size staples are you using in the senco model J, to secure the inlay ends?
I think they are either 1/8" or 3/16". Thanks for checking out the channel! Bruce
such a unique sounding kit, definitely one of the best Ludwig kits money can buy
I'll be saving this video. Many thanks!
That's a beuatifull Drum Set, Indeed. I'm considering in buy me a GRETSCH Renegade in Blue Mist Color, very similiar as this drum kit
Beautiful drum set, very nice indeed, they'd cost an arm and leg over here in the UK, so I'm playing more modern drums. A Drum Craft maple 7 piece including 14x6.5" snare. It's a great set... not that vintage Ludwig or Gretsch sound but still very nice indeed. I also own a couple of other sets, a MIJ Pearl GLX and MIJ DX Professional, in Cherry Wood stain with lacquered shells, interiors lacquered as well, it's another amazing sounding set, has 45° cut bearing edges so really let's you take it easy and get familiar with finger grip techniques. This is an amazing channel, I love your approach to restoring these old classics, it's great to watch and reassuring in a way, what with all of the cancel culture and everything being disposable, your atypical capitalism gone wrong model. Keep up the good work. 👍
Wow hahaha that was a great find. ☘️
nice job bruce, i sent you a text about those drums you were looking for not sure if that was a landline or not? if i see anything i'll shoot you an email!
Yep got it Shawn....let me know if they appear bro. Nice find in the homeless camp ha ha
@@vintagedrumrestorationgara91thanks man! I'm still in shock! It was insane 😂 and will do! Thanks for the shout out btw!
Something good on a Monday. Thanks.
Glad you like it! If it doesn't interest me, I won't post it.
Thank you for sharing this informative tutorial with all of us. It was not only very informative, but it was also very entertaining.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
Glad it was helpful! That is what this channel is all about. Not trying for slick shiny photography or knowitall approach. Just sharing what little I know and a different point of view. Beside, its free... like it or hate it. Cheers, Bruce
@@vintagedrumrestorationgara91 Thank you, Bruce.
✨56 was a good year! Ha Ha… I was born. You too? Thanks for the video!!✨ ((Great drum, by the way)) I’m a sucker for old Ludwig and Slingerland… plus Gretsch. Ok… almost anything vintage that’s good. 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks BC...Yes 56 was a good year... my bd year too! I too am a sucker for all vintage drums. Had the bug since the mid 70s.. Strong as ever.Cheers, Bruce
I'm glad I found this video. I have a 50s Gretsch marching snare that I'm refinishing as part of a single tension "Levon" kit. I wasnt sure if I should route the edges or do them by hand. I already filled in the snare beds with kwikwood and flattened the edges. I tell pretty confident now about doing this by hand.
That was remarkable. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is it wrong, or is there any disadvantage of using wood filler to fill holes versus dowel plugs? My shells are bare right now. I removed the wrap and sanded them so far. Thank you!!!
Troy, just hold the clamp. Haha. Great job guys; really dig watching the restoration work.
Thanks 👍 Hope I am not too hard on my help. We were just winging it. ha ha
