I thought someone here would have a copy of Candido In Indigo and would help me out. A friend called me today and asked me if before I striped my Requena it was white I responded no but it may have been at one time since there was some white paint on the underside of the bands before I cleaned and polished them. When he saw the drum he said he had seen the drum before I told him it was probably on the net. He remembered that Candido was playing a drum with the same crown and hardware on his In Indigo album. Candido also had Vergaras which he painted white on another of his albums. If any one out there has this album and can verify that the hardware is the same I would appreciate the info. It would be interesting to own a drum from a Historic percussionist such as Candido.

Look like different drums on each cover. First appears more similar to yours, but banding arrangement is different.

The first drum is a Vergara, the one I need checked is on the second cover Candido In Indigo, I checked on line as you did but the image is not large enough for me to verify. Thats why I wanted someone that actually has the album to check. I Had to thighten the bands due to shrinkage as is normal as wood ages on Timbas, so if they appear higher or lower thats to be expected. I need verification of crown and side plates.
