So the other day I noticed what I thought was rust gathering around the collars of my exhaust. So, today I sat down on my drums stool and began taking them off, figured I'd give them a good polish while I was at it. I took the first collar off and noticed that it wasnt rust. It looked like it was some sort of tape? maybe? that someone had put around it. Maybe they didn't like the fact that it came in two pieces.
Whatever. I start tapping at whatever time has turned the tape into to chisle it off. And that's when I see something on the inside of the collar. Something written in black marker, who-knows-how-long ago.
On to the second exhause. Same tape remains and on the inside more writing. This one is more clear and it looks like a name.
I take off the other two collars and notice that there is a name on them as well.
The romantic part of me likes to think that these are the names of the people who built it. But, seeing as it is written in English, I doubt this is the case. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
