I find satin finished drums (against chrome hardware) very attractive and rich looking. My Japan made Starclassic Bubs did not have satin finish option back in 2007.
I'm real tempted to knock back my high gloss finished drums (on the guitar where this seems a semi common subject - could not find anywhere on drum forums) to have that less "toy/lollip/candy" look I've seen refers to on guitar sites. The wood just looks richer in a satin or dull satin...

You can see guitars brought down to satin in this very popular thread:
http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/epiphone-les-pauls/17007-dulling-poly-finished-guitars-pic-heavy.html
Some of them fell a little short of their goals(visible scratches, prominent swirls using varied methods), but plenty/most(?)posters guitars look great. The satin blacks look really, really good. Many contributors keep saying the original poster's methodology and steps works very well (considering taking ones time and not being a hack on such undertakings - umm, the bell curve of life out there).
Anyone drummers(not guitarists ;0) out there w/ experience on "deglossing" or going satin?
Thanks.
