Your Lazy Susan system was bad ass too, my neighbor gave me a cheap SPL drum set, white, I learn how to play just basic stuff a long time ago and I have not even put the set together yet, after I watched your videos I'm going to try to do the same, your drum set looks awesome, maybe I'm going to go back to learn a little bid more. Thanks for the inspiration man!

Just finished watching again. I would use TRU-OIL wipe on gunstock finish. Its cheap easy to use and 1 small bottle would have done the kit. Gives a great finish. There have been several recomendations of products but some are not Available here in Australia. Good job.

Dude this is amazing. I wish I saw this weeks ago. But I'll tell you what's up on my project. I sanded the shine off the original shells, then primed them. Then painted them, then clear coat enamel. While wet, added some glitter, just enough to add some randomized sparkle in the light. Then clear enamel again, and another level of random glitter since I wasnt happy with the first. Well fast forward to me being frustrated with making several trips to the store of another can of the enamel, I swapped out to some gloss polyurethane. Much better and much thicker. I'm nearing the end of where the highest build ups of glitter were and I dont want any brush strokes. I havent sanded between any layers, but I do have some sanding shit and the 0000 steel wool. Before I finish the last layer, should I go ahead and steel wool now, and buy some of the stuff you used for this final layer?

I did not. This was the second time I stained the drums. The first time was around 2003 when I first bought the drums. I removed the wrap and lightly sanded them to remove all the glue residue from the wrap. Then I just left them like that. This time I decided to go all in and refinish them properly. The biggest mistake was not sanding and filling in all the road damage.

I wouldn’t paint any top hoops that you’re gonna hit. I would buy them in the color you want… or powder coat them. Bottom hoops you could paint. I used rustoleum… but a few people suggested paint that you would use on car rims. It’s supposed to be Very durable.
