Each year for a few years now there has been a competition on Instagram for metal artists. The Spider challenge.
Decided this year to give it a go.
The competitors are also the judges so this is not a 'vote for me ' post, just thought you might like to see my entry.
Don't have nightmares ;)
Taken me from 10am until a few minutes ago to get the rear drum off the first side :mad: :mad: :mad:
Inside it does not appear rusty particularly.

As I say no errors.
Is there simple way to test the pump or maybe fix it. I understand it's quite a...
