James and his old drum

James has an old 1959 or 1960 Slingerland bass drum that he's restoring. For some reason, the previous owner(s) drilled a lot of holes into the drum to put on different hardware. James wants to put on the original hardware and such, so he's been plugging up the holes and cleaning all the hardware. It's his after work project, his on the weekend project. Whole drum in the condition he got it in.

Holes made by the previous owner(s).

Which are the clean ones?
