I am sad to report that this drum was stolden from my shop along with three others Dec. 17 2010. It had been reworked to have a port mid way on the right side & the port detail color was changed to copper.

Who ever ends up with this drum and knows not of it's fate, I wish the best.

To whoever stole it... may a POX be upon him.
