Refurbishing my drum kit
This is something I have been putting off for quite some time now, but I finally did
it.
I have a five-piece drum kit. I bought it used, and was unable to determine the
brand, but I think that the drums are of a Ludwig nature. I began by removing and
cleaning all of the lugs and metal pieces from the toms. I was just going to dust off the
toms and snare drum, but I resolved to do something a bit different. I removed the
blue covers from the three toms. To my surprise, they peeled right off. Now my drums
have a nice wood grain look.
There was one thing that I had not planed on though. The blue wraps were held to the
toms by an adhesive of some type. So there were dark stripes on the toms where the
glue was. I snatched my blow drier and proceeded to heat the glue and then gently
scrape it off with a small wire brush. Worked like a charm!
