I practice at my bandmates house and they have two drum sets down in their basement, but keep asking me to leave one of my kits there. Their previous apartment caught fire and while I think the drums were okay, they are COVERED in soot. I mean heavy black dirt. I'd like to offer to clean them and put new heads on to avoid leaving a precious drum set there
I know soot is very hard to clean. We tried cleaning soot off my mom's ceiling once and it all kind of just gets wiped around and never comes off.... we ended up repainting.
Back on topic! How does one go about specifically cleaning soot off drums and hardware? (Yes, I've searched on here for how to clean drums, but it seems like it's just people asking how to make their drums more shiny).
They are cheap Pearl exports but I feel I am up to the task of completely taking them apart and cleaning. They have wrap if that matters. I'm thinking just some good ol' windex? Maybe baby wipes?
