I'd like to re-invigorate my first proper drum set. It currently just sits in my garage.
One of my first thoughts is to wrap it, but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. Do I need to take the old wrap off first? I think the XPK is a wrap at least and not actual stained wood.. I do like the current rosewood finish, but it is a little bit damaged in places, and it might just freshen them up with a new wrap (maybe an exotic wood wrap would be nice).
One of my issues with the kit is the power tom sizes (10x9, 12x10, etc) coupled with a 22" bass drum. It makes the toms hard to position (for me), so I'm also wondering about converting them to standard sizes or (10x8 or even 10x7, etc). Is that a difficult / expensive job? Andy...? ;-)
It's just a thought at the moment.. I think they deserve better than to just sit there for the sake of my nostalgia.. I should use them.
Cheers!
