Jeff - I'm actually a little sorry I didn't catch this thread sooner, -before- you stripped the floor tom. The wrap that is on those drums is metal. Which means it can be sanded and polished up back to near original condition. I would have started with some Scotch Brite to knock all the corrosion and many of the cuts and scratches off and then wet sand them up to 1200-1400 grit and put the polish back on. Clear-coat the whole thing and they're good to go for another 100.000 miles.You can only do this with steel drums or drums wrapped in steel. I think you missed an opportunity to restore those back to original. Best of luck with them. I like the idea of paint much more than wrap. Let those fiber-glass shells vibrate freely, to sing.Cool score!John
John I know what you are saying but if you saw the drums in person you would agree they neeed new wraps. The metal ones were very rusty and dented. I did try a test spot on the 16 and decided it would never clean up good enough. Then considered painting the metal wrap but again some of the rust was too deep. I also thought when I saw them on C/L that they would polish up nice but I was wrong. Thanks for you input on the paint, thats the way I am steering toward for the moment.
