We know Matt is the man. No doubt. He did some work on my old sonocs that is incomparable. BUT! I don't have three years everytime I need some drums refurbed, AND I don't have the skills time or patience to do it myself. I've got some sonoc batas with the hideous cuban red paint. Cedro for sure, the nice smell of Chango cabiosile! Need someone to do me a nice job , no more than 2-3 months, have the cash and will pay! PC
Try Tony Stearn in the San Fran Bay Area. He does restoration for a living. I am about to give him a beaten u 70's mahogany 13" Tumba I picked up http://pinterest.com/congadr/conga-restoration/
