Sweet kit. I’m currently restoring a Majestic Semi-Pro in blue sparkle and found this video particularly inspiring. The Semi-Pro had a little different mounting setup and didn’t have the offset lug design but inside it’s exactly the same. That’s a sweet CB-700 snare with the wristwatch lugs and sounds AMAZING!

If you ever want to get a wrap that looks closer the original, there’s a thing called illusion film that looks pretty close.

This video put a smile on my face, well done! I am happy I am not the only one feeling sentimental about their first drum set. I am currently in the same situation. I was able to track down my first set in a different country. With some hassle I can get it and have it shipped to the US and reunite with it after 20 years. Mine is a 1969 Pearl kit. The drums need good cleaning and the wrap has faded to some extent but in a playable and ok condition. Everyone says instead of spending money on the kit and shipping, just get a used Ludwig kit, better drums, but it’s not about that...

Are you still feeling excited for finding and restoring your first set? I don’t know if I should go through the hassle of shipping my kit here, but I might regret in future if I don’t.

Very great interesting video. I have question, did you sand the barring edges with some sand paper? Because I am planing on doing that on my old drum kit

Thanks for your question. I did the restoration on the Majestic DeLuxe drum kit. I did not sand the edges of the shells. They were actually in great shape, and for that reason, I really didn't see the need to do it. I know there are restoration guys out there who are super good at these projects (I'm not one of them:-), and likely would have done that. There are still many little imperfections on the kit. In fact, If the shells had not been falling off and cracking, I would've kept them (my original intention). I was very sentimental about the kit and really just wanted it to playable again. If I had to do it again, I also might have ordered actual drum wrap. The problem was, I couldn't find a color that I was happy with! Good luck with your restoration project! - Joe

@@joefeldpausch thank you very much for your reply. I did sand the bearing edges with sand paper and it worked great. But it was not easy and it is not necessary to do if you already have good looking baring edges. Have a nice year and best wishes

Great video. These old drums can restore up to something even better than they were new. The aging definitely does something to them. I would say $300 is quite a bit too much to spend for the condition you found them in, but the sentimental value is priceless. Godspeed

A 1/3 solution of CLR works very well on drum hardware too if you get into more restoration. Vinegar solution is also a great organic standby.

Hey! Thank for the question! Since it was made in the 1960's and in Japan, it was likely Luan Mahogany. It was easy to work with and cost effective. Japanese made drums were taking up the slack in the market because the bigger companies couldn't keep up with the demand from the British Invasion and Rock and Roll explosion.
