My fellow Percussionist

I play a Pearl Export from the 80s.It's a nine piece and ready to be recovered!Does anybody have any suggestions
how to strip it down without destroying it?
Theres a place locally that will recover it, but I'm afraid of how much it will cost.Maybe I'll do one piece at a time over the next year :)

hi-hat: paiste aa top and sabian aa top for bottom.

Ive been playing for 10 years, but im pretty much always broke so instead of buying new drums, i try to tune them well and spend my money on new cymbals when i have the chance. when i sell my dirtbike i think ill get 2 Zildjan Z crashes and maybe a second snare.

I drum on a 1982 Tama Imperial star for harder rock, and a Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage Fusion its only a couple years old, has ok tone, use it more for pop/easy listening recording. My cymbal collection is kinda small.

I have 4 drum kits: My very large Tama RockStar Custom which had 4 Kicks and 26 cymbals, My Dw 5-pc Zebra Finish, A Pearl Export 6-pc Double Kick, and a Yamaha Recording Custom 6-pc Fusion set. My Tama included:
8x8, 9x10, 10x12, 11x13, 12x14, 14x16, 16x16, 16x18, 2)16x22, 16x20, and from my high school the big boy 14x40. I had mini timbales, octobans, and roto toms. For Cymbals I ran Sabian Pro, AA, and AAx. including a 30" gong. on the DW the drums were a 16x20, 14x16, 9x12, and a 8x10. Cymbals on this were Zildjan Z Customs. on the Pearl: 2)16x22, 10x12, 11x13, 16x16. the Cymbals on this were Sabian Pro Cymbals. Finally on the Yamaha which I recieved as a gift from my uncle was 16x20, 8x8, 9x10, 10x12, 12x14. for cymbals which were given to me was a Meinl Raker 20" heavy ride, Meinl Classics 16 & 18" Lightning Touring Crashes, Meinl Classics 17" Powerful Crash. I usually ran anywhere from 3 to 4 hi-hats on my Pearl & my Tama. As for Snares I use A Custom Maple Solid 4x14, and a 6x14( these were made by a friend who was experimenting with a new way of making drums
