Drum beat! Performance tips!

Hi to all, you know I have repaired a few original drums and the problems are sometimes similar, but feeding issues are usually less prevalent on originals, even with less mainspring poundage???
My question is, are the interiors of an original Bing drum blued or in the white?... The acid bath, and subsequent black oxide, may be a bigger problem then previously thought?.... Let me know if you have an original and want to peak inside?.... Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT
