Hi guys, yesterday one of my mates gave me an old drum he had in his loft, pretty bad condition (broken heads, bad chrome etc) well anyways im restoring it Smile

but i couldnt identify it and im quite interested to know what it is. Its
14 x 6.5,
3 ply with reinforcing rings,
was covered in black oyster pearl,
Had tail plane lugs,
and the only markings i could find was 'Drumcraft 7005/1' on the inside of the lugs,

can anyone help identify this?
oh yeah and also what is the best way to plug unwanted holes?

thanks

Check the inside of the drum and see if there's a logo there.

idk those lugs look kinda like vintage slingerland style lugs, so it might be a slingerland, but thats my only guess.

It's an ajax snare drum. Made in england in the 50's/60's. The company no longer exists.
