Mark,

I like the look of the shells after burning the wrap off!! I vote for clear coat over the scorching!! Something different!!

Cheers

grantro!

That would certainly be a novel finish! I do have Red Glass Glitter ready to go, that I purchased from Jammin' Sam. I did a test fit on one of the 8x12 toms and wasn't happy with the results. The wrap really needs to be glued, which is something I'm not good at! I did find someone in SoCal who wraps drums and I need to contact him to set up an appointment.

In the meantime, I've decided to not use the Stick-Saver hoops and Snap-On pedal that came with the bass drum. I've already purchased a nice set of maple hoops, with matching inlay, from Precision. They'll need to be painted! I haven't done much with the set in quite some time. I'm thinking about polishing up all the lugs and hardware and just assembling the shells to see how the set will look! And then, I'll get to take it all apart again! The fun never ends! LoLoLoLo

I tried doing glass glitter once. It’s a different animal from the other wraps. I had to abandoned it and have Precision complete the effort. Your project does look like fun though.

That's some beautiful work! for everyone else, I'm also using Minwax filler and it's working great, although it's just a luan kit that you really can't hurt the sound of, lol.

Hi there! Thanks for the kind words...and for reviving this thread! In all honesty, the set has just been sitting and I've gotten no ****her since patching those bass drum holes! It's gotten to the point where I've been seriously considering just sending all the shells and maple BD hoops to Precision Drum and let them work their magic! I realize this would cost a small fortune, so it's gotten no ****her than "thinking about it"!!
