Hi All,
ReplyDeleteI recently came into possession of this drum and am trying to learn its history. I contacted the auction house that sold it back in 2009 but, unfortunately, all records were lost in a fire. If anyone can shed light on this drum, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Dave P.
