I'm looking for a unique, yet relatively inexpensive way to rejuvenate some less than stellar drum shells. I came across some lovely quilted maple veneers at an astonishing price, and I think it would look mighty nice on my old kit.
My question is, do any of you fine folks who dabble in custom drum building and the like, have any experience with applying veneers to drums? I've never applied a drum wrap to a shell, so I'm not sure how a maple veneer would differ from say, a glitter wrap that costs considerably more. I'm fairly certain it can be done, and it seems like an excellent alternative to traditional drum wraps sold here on the interweb.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. And of course, if I complete the project, I'll post tons of pictures!

Would it be unheard of to apply a lovely wood veneer to say....a chrome snare?
