Recovering Shells

[punkin]

My son's kit has seen quite a bit of travelling and I've been thinking about having them recovered or perhaps doing it myself. I've found several websites that can do the work which seems a bit spendy while others will sell the materials. The on-line instructions seem fairly straight forward but was hoping to hear from someone who's done this themselves.

Anyone?

Punkin,

I suggest you drop into http://www.ghostnote.net/vbforum/ ............it is a forum for guys who make and/or refinish/repair drums and the search function there should give plenty of info. Actually, http://www.drumshed.org/forum/ is the original Ghostnote site so probably start there first.

DS is the quieter of the two but there's a lot of info to be had and some nice guys there, when the original site split a couple of years ago, most of the rowdy idiot element went to the new GN.

Fairly easy, as long as you take the right steps Preparation and measuring is key.

You'll want to go with the adhesive method using a good bonding agent like those 3M makes. Don't go with tape, as you'll have a bubbled mess within a year or two. I've re-wrapped 3 kits, 2 of which that formerly had been re-done with the tape method.
