    Default Beat Up Floor Tom Options?

    I recently acquired a beat up Pearl Prestige Session Select 16X16 floor tom. It has lots of road rash, and was pretty filthy. But, it gave me an idea.

    So I stripped it down, cleaned it up the best I could, put some new legs/mem locks on it, and turned it into a trash can for the shop. Now I just have to find bigger bags haha.

    Nice idea.........but that looked like a good floor tom to me, LOL. I could have used that shell as a bass for my jungle kit....or paired it up with the old Export rack toms I have to make another complete kit! I have a similar trash can in my office, but I used an old Luan shell that had ply seperation.

    Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!

    The problem is really all astetic. I could have stripped the lacquer off and refinished it, or wrapped it I suppose. But, I have 3 16" floor toms already, so there really was no use for it.

    Rich, lets just pretend that they were so beat up on the inside that they were unplayable...this was the only clear choice after that.
