Good luck....It will take patience
Interesting, I think if the natural finish was unfavorable, i'd end up going with a wrap out of simplicity. Lookin forward to seeing the project development, great ideas and gear here.

Hey Edda! Was that the pink Pearl ELX kit advertised on gumtree a lil' while back? That does look familiar. It reminds me of the same shade of pink a drummer called Tony LeRhodes used to to play years ago here in Sydney, lol, no kidding. I think it was The Zep Boys he was playing in or some similar name. But I think he had a Tama set instead of a Pearl one. He used to run a rehearsal studio somewhere around Mt Druitt and I remember seeing that kit at one time. Stood out like the dog's proverbials!
Anyway, keep us lot posted about the E-kit.....will make a great read!

Great job on the sanding! Looks like you got most of the rough spots cleaned up nicely and it's ready for the next step. The kick doesn't necessarily need to be made virgin for a trig-rig though.

Looks very nice, that drum sure cleaned up nicely. I predict it's going to take the finish really well, so good work so far. By the way, do you have a copy of the Guerrilla drum making dvd? One of the topics they cover is fades and bursts, it would add a little comfort to know what techniques they used and worked for them before going ahead with it. If you already do from past jobs, no worries. I just can't help but wonder if it would be a different feel doing it on a drum as opposed to furniture?

Oh my.. This is a definitely a first for me. I don't think i've ever seen a bubinga export before(okay so it's not full bubinga but it could still fool me), or a bubinga export that's set up for diy triggering. That is truly amazing, keep posting progress of pics. I'm actually real curious about how veneers work and install on drums, i've never really understood the whole process myself.
