I just joined today after doing a google search trying to seek info on refinishing some drums.
I'm not a drummer, but I'm the creative member of my band and we just reaquired our drummers old set of PDP CX drums (they sound better than what he's actually playing right now) but they look like crap.
It's a long story, but they've changed hands about a dozen times.. and thus have gone through the ringer. The wraps are scratched and nicked/pitted pretty bad and they are just in semi rough shape. The shells themselves are fine.
I took the smallest tom home to experiment, and it looks like the wraps on these things are totally glued down.. instead of the strip of glue where the ends meet like on some kits.
Any hope for this plan to make these things look nicer without spending more than it would cost to just buy a new kit?
