Drums

[Headwrench]

Sooo...this IS off topic for sure....is there any drummers on this board? I have a question...has anybody ever removed the wrap on the drum shells to re-wrap? If so ,was it a problem to remove? I have some scuffs & scratches on the shells & i would like to rewrap . thank you for any help.

Not a drummer--but

My oldest friend is " the Drum Doc" . We have built drum sets-- they actually sounded very solid because ofthe mounting system he designed and I built. We used wood drum shells and painted them whatever color the buyer wanted ( they were not cheap!) - it's just tedious to remove the laminate layer ( has to be perfect to re-laminate) .
It would be tough to match the other drum shells unless you do them all. If your doing a metal laminate it must be rolled first. Might be easier to disasemble and repaint ( automotive candy colours:yikes: ) . Do ya enjoy tuning all those drum heads???

Good luck,
