Hi all - yesterday I picked up a 26" Ludwig marching bass drum that looked to be in rough shape. I removed the steel wrap and was happy to find a beautiful shell underneath. The hoops are in good shape, too, so I'm thinking about converting it into a bass drum for a player's kit.
My first question: any thoughts on removing the adhesive where the wrap was attached without harming the wood?
Second question: would anyone like to share their converted marching bass drums for inspiration? I'm thinking about doing this in a Vintage Natural finish...
Thanks!
Tom
