For writing on this vintage drum after he worked on it... maybe that is common practice..?

Not a Guru... just interested..

Crude execution, but repair techs have been marking the inside of drums since the rope-tension days.

Now if Nodar had a bit more class, he'd put a label inside the drum, and write with something more subtle than a shipping Sharpie.

He has quite the reputation. And thats why he will never see any of my vintage gear.

Egotism at it's finest, however if you find pencil writing on the inside of a Radio King, it's original. On mine on the inside it says chrome in cursive. Probably so someone knows to take it to the next station when it was built.

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

The inside of my Sling snare looks like Chone e or l then R V written in cursive pencil.

Nearly every one of my Rogers 60s snare drums, as well as the other Rogers 60s drums, have the assemblers initials on the paper tag somewhere. Thats cool.
