Was also planning on adding foam in the lugs! They're not rattly at all to be honest, but the nuts some to move around a little during heavier use.
The color is most definitely growing on me. I want to find another bass drum in this color, and maybe another floor tom..

I love the kit man...and i have another piece of info I learned at a special LAMA drummers seminar not too long ago.
A very very keen and knowledgeable German fella was there showing all kinds of interesting tuning techniques and also drum shell cleaning and maintenance techniques to make a kit record as best as possible...that is where I learned about the foam inside the lugs..
The other thing that blew my mind was his treatise on rims. He suspended several rims on non-isolating hangers and showed us the sonic qualities each imparts on the drum by tapping each of them with a drum key...like a Triangle would be played.
The difference between the welded rims and one piece stamped rims was astonishing with the one piece rims have a truer and more pure tone. Very interesting to a gear geek like me.
It is certainly a matter of debate on the impact that has in the recording process, but this expert was sold on it and he created some awesome sounding drums constructions in front of the group from old parts and pieces...very very interesting!
I always said if I resurrect an old kit, I would follow his suggestions on the rims and the cleaning and the foam
