Finally have a Gon Bop

[randyc]

Just added this one to my 'growing' collection.
Any comments on age, etc. w/b appreciated. Also, where might I be able to get the lower band.
Another gem from Craigs for only $50 Cdn. Including a Ted Reed Bongo and Conga Drum Technique book that had the original purchase price of only $1.65 (I can't even remember that far back)
Original skin (will need to be replaced), with no cracks or stave issues. Nice and round.
Model # ICL-3000
Serial # 323782
Cheers, Randy.

Great drum, nice price for sure.

There is no supplier for Gon Bops bottom bands that I have ever heard of. Your best bet is to find another
Gon Bops in worse condition and use that.

Seriously, they are hard to find.
