• Bearing edges re-touched for trueness
• All extra holes were plugged (with wood, not fillers)
• Shell interiors painted black (just like the old days of W&A drums built by George Bernard (1905-1950s) and Jacob Tharpe (mid-late 1970s)
• Wrapped in Champagne Sparke and decorated with new W&A badges.

Historical Info:
The bass drum on this kit came from the very last drum set made by W&A.
It was originally built by Jacob Tharpe in 1979 for drummer Louie Santoro of the Worcester MA based band 'August'.
It was a double bass drum set in white. I received both bass drums from the Louie's brother. (Unfortunately he didn't have the rest of the set. This is the last one.).
The tom and floor tom came from other W&A sets from the 1970s. It appears Jacob Tharpe was the original builder as well.

Walberg and Auge "Diablo" Bop Drum Set 18, 12, 14, 14
Absolutely stunning sonically and visually! 'Black and Brass', used on the
first W&A drum badge created at the turn of the 20th century, is the theme
for the W&A 'Diablo' Bop Drum Set and Badge.
In 1920, 'The Music Trade
Review' blamed Bernard Walberg for his inventions used in the advent of Jazz...
also referred to as 'The Devil's Music'. At the time, Mr. Walberg's
inventions included the first cow bell holder for the trap kit, first traps
table, first CarryAll bass drum, and many other musical creations necessary for
musicians to play the new radical music of Jazz. It took a few decades for Jazz
to be considered an art form of music.
Today, we celebrate that accusation by
developing and presenting the Walberg and Auge 'Diablo' Series Bop / Jazz Drum
Set. Be the first to own the first W&A bop kit and historical moment in drum
history.
