Always wanted to have a 'dark fiberskyn' resonant head on certain drum kits...for example, I have a Yamaha Club Custom bop kit in Dark Wood.
So I found an old 14" Fiberskyn as a test subject (don't want to ruin a $50 bass drum head in case this doesn't work out.
Found this tube of Varathane Premium Wood Stain (pictured below).
Apparently this is thicker than normal stain, dries fast and covers in one coat. Ish.
Have a look at the before and after, I am quite pleased with the result so far.
Applied one coat with a foam roller and then quickly another 'pass' with a paper towel to even it out and kind of 'work it into' the head.
Decent!
I'm going to go and dig out a 18" Fiberskyn now.
Will post finished pictures!
