Drum Set Re-wrap Project

[Texdrumr]

Looks great brother.............a lot different than your dark brown kits.

Does the band like them?

Thank you longgun. And yes, the band thinks it looks very cool. First gig with them tomorrow!

Wow Texdrumr - that kit looks amazing - beautiful! You have inspired me to consider doing the same to an old, old Pearl kit I have had in storage for years.

Thanks ludleg. Man, go for it. So easy to do and it really brings new life into a kit.

Twice I've posted and twice I forgot to hit the post button.

You did a superb job on this and made a great choice on the wrap.

Nicely done!!

Why thank you sir...all three times. I've loved this wrap for a long time and just been waiting for the right kit/circumstance to order it.

Noice

Thoinks!

Stupid question when you rewrap do you use a new grommet for the vent hole....

Johnny answered below. Agree with him that it's not a stupid question at all. I DID have to ruin the original ones on this kit. Bum wrap has replacements for a few bucks and they are two piece/screw together. Seriously simple.

Not a stupid question at all.
It depends on the original grommet. Most, I find, are crimped into place and need to be pretty much destroyed in order to get them out. I created a grommet for my snare from a little thing that is usually used with computer wires.
Sometimes they are threaded and have a nut on the inside so you can easily save it for after the rewrap is done.

Yep.

Wow!! Nice job Tex. Looks awesome!!!

Thank you Rich. I agree on the underrated part. I almost feel like I'm getting away with something illegal considering how little money I have in this kit.

Now that's a cool pic! That wrap looks killer!!

Thank you Mark! 'Killer is exactly what I was going for!

wow that blue LED really makes that kit scream!!

Thanks Spaz, I agree. This pic looks cool but did not really capture how awesome it actually looked that night.

I like it. It kind of makes me mad because it looks that good. I just wrapped my old (1997) DW Collectors and I paid a premium for Delmar black glass glitter. Don't get me wrong, my kit looks phenomenal, but yours looks sharp too and cost a fraction of the Delmar wrap. So I like it and hate it at the same time. Well done.

Makes me want to start my own project. Haven't re=wrapped in a while.

Me too. It's pretty easy and very satisfying. I might sell my last project to fund the next one.
