I have restored many kits over the years and I have found that a really good way to restore old/rusty hoops is a combination of WD40 and ordinary kitchen tin foil, the foil is abrasive enough to remove the rust, but soft enough not to scratch the hoop, also to remove any badges that are glued to the wrap without damaging them, use dental floss to gently 'saw' away the glue.
I need this reper
Great tip
Thank you! I’m about to clean up my kit so this is awesome
I re-wrapped my first Pearl pro kit many times over the years, until it was sold in 1985/6.
I had to, as one of the toms supplied, was in a diff color. Tried many diff materials. Including metallic sheet an metallic brass.
Finally I wrapped it in white plastic.
The shells were phenolic so were in good condition. Only the kick were in wood fiberglass.
All this was done in the UK, where wraps were not widely available, then.
Thro my experience, I also wrapped kits for other people in a drum shop. I had a complete list of the sizes an lengths needed to complete.
I used d/s tape to hold the wrap on the shell, then carefully mounted the brackets, holders an lugs, finishing of with a second strip of D/S tape, to seal it all
As long as u started at right angles to the shell, u could be guarenteed to wrap them without gaps when closing up.
I always did a good job, as it was important to produce a quality product.
I loved it!
ST drums and Company are the best in Europe!! Great knowledge ,Great service, Great products!!
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for this amazingly helpful video.
That's a very helpful video! I wish you posted more frequently. Thanks for posting!
We try to work on more videos in the future! thanks for the nice feedback!
I had the same set! My first drum set. Bought used in 1983 or so. My nephew now has it. Great sounding drums.
Amazing, thank you so much for this !
Klasse gemacht 👍! Ich fange bald selber mit restaurieren an und eure Website ist perfekt dafür😄 weiter so🥁
Great video! was recommended 0000 steel wool which doesn't scratch the hardware and it worked great :)
Sehr cooles Video! Mehr davon!
Your before kit is exactly what I want mine to look like haha!
😁👍 well we got white pearl wrap as well as "antique white pearl" which is slightly yellowish mimicing older wraps that yellowed over the years
@@stdrumsgmbh that’s awesome I’ll have a look! Is it still the case that all Pearl finish wraps on the market require 2 sheets for a bass drum? I’ve found printed wraps that are available in one piece but no actual Pearl wraps, and would it be that way on drums that come with a Pearl finish from the factory? Sorry for all the questions but I’ve been looking for a wrap for my kit for ages and have gotten stuck as I couldn’t find any sheets big enough for a bass drum and I’m not a fan of the double seem. My kick is 22x18.
@@stdrumsgmbh sorry one more thing.. I notice your wraps in the video are covering the entire shell whereas I’ve seen others recommend leaving 5-10mm of shell exposed at the top and bottom so the wrap doesn’t interfere with the head seating on the bearing edge. Now I’m not sure which approach is correct haha.
@@boobtubenoob7061 all the delmar wraps come in sheets with a length of 54". They make the most high quality wraps and the colors are mostly still like the original vintage ones, so with these wraps you will always need 2 pieces for the BD. There are cheaper Chinese wraps that come in bigger sizes but mostly these are solid colors without these pearl patterns. Regarding leaving a gap around the edges: on oversized shells like gretsch it is absolutely recommended, but in our experience most shells are small enough that you can add wraps without having to worry about the heads fitting. If you run into problems later you can cut out a small window from the overlapping.
Excelente o vídeo, bem explicativo. Inscrevi - me no canal. A Pearl Dum set ficou linda. Parabéns para vocês. Feliz Ano Novo.
Great video 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
The drums really look nice good job these things you have to take your time you can't rush.?
Loved the video! I have some drums I don’t use wanted to re wrap them. Where can I find wrap options?
Did you actually got a Pearl President for 50 euros...!!!?!! Holyshit. Those are legendary enough to be re-issued! :O
Hi! Thank you for the great content! I was wondering, do you know what's the model of the Pearl drum set of the video? Thank you!
thanks for the nice feedback! unfortunately I am not completely sure which one it is. I checked on vintagedrumguide.com and it looks like the thunder king in the 1969 catalogue, with white pearl (original color). The "free adjust" double tom arms look pretty much the same, and so does the rest of the hardware. Regarding the shells I'm not sure though.
Hi! thanks for a great tutorial. what's the name of the tool you use to enlargen the holes?
Nevermind,found the answer on earlier post 🤗
I would have liked to hear the sound at the end.
Put a glass coffee table up against a wall. Easy to roll it on straight.
Well done! Könnt ihr den Scotch Weld Kleber gegenüber dem Pattex (hinsichtlich Klebekraft, Ausdünstungen) empfehlen? Die Dämpfe vom Pattex sind echt unerträglich ... Danke!
danke! Ja wir ziehen den 3M dem Pattex auf jeden Fall vor. Der 3M ist auch dünnflüssiger, und somit leichter zu verteilen.
@@stdrumsgmbh Danke! Warum ich den nicht schon früher ausprobiert habe ... Werd ich auf jeden Fall mal ausprobieren!
A very lengthy and involved process. I much rather order my wraps precut and with the hi-bong adhesive ends. Wrap seams should meet at a pair of lugs, so they help hold the wraps tightness. Thanks for posting.
Wrap expands and contracts with varying temperatures, so glueing is best as it prevents the wrap going slack.
Totally agree about the wrap seams meeting an a pair of lugs. Looks much neater.
Good luck doing it, just leave it to the pros!
What are the hand tools used to reopen the holes?
basically you can use any small pointy thing to poke a little hole in the wrap from the inside out (we used a very small screwdriver in the video), and then use a tapered reamer from the outside to poke into those holes and really open them.
I think you may have glossed over the trickiest part of a project like this for a person who doesn’t really know what they’re doing, removing the factory installed grommets without destroying the drum. Other than that a very informative video.
Thanks for the comment! we are actually working on another tutorial video on wrap and grommet removal, which will be released soon!
Lol, that's the reason I wanted to watch the video.😢
Can I wrap over lacquered shells?
Yes, it's possible, however, we always roughen the lacquer finish with sand paper before putting the glue on there.
The glue will stick better to a rough surface compared to a flat lacquered one - so the lacquer can not be easily restored when you remove the wrap. However, we are currently working on a project with thinner wraps that can be put on top of lacquer and can be removed without damaging the lacquer - we will upload a video on that probably soon
You’re supposed to glue both the shell and the wrap for a very permanent and stronger adhesion. This will also prevent wrap shrinkage and wrap splitting later.
I’ve wrapped almost a dozen kits in the past 2 years. I’m not a professional but this how I was taught. The rest of your video is perfect!
thanks for the comment! Actually we put glue on the whole surface of the wrap as well as the whole surface of the shell, so if I don't misunderstand we use the same technique as you :)
What is the correct kind of wrap to use when rewrapping the kit?
we sell wraps in our shop stdrums.com which are made especially for drums. The most famous manufacturer of high quality wraps is delmar in the USA - they make high quality stuff, but we also got drumwraps for a lower budget.
Gibt's bei euch auch noch diese Airvents, die aussehen wie ein kleines Drumset?
leider nicht! Das waren solche Kunststoff Logos, die man unter die AV2 klemmen konnte.
Olivia is cute!!! Does she play drums??😍 Does she speak English?
thanks for the comment 🤣 yes she does play the drums and speaks english and yes, she is married already😊😂
I want Sweet Olivia to re wrap my kit.
Why does it need to be wrapped? The natural wood with stain and lacquer looks and sounds better without junk suppressing the sound.
I just scored a vintage Ludwig that the entire rap was taken off of the four drums I'm eventually going to do this but I have to look for an American company to get the wraps from
Delmar Wrap is made in USA. You can order it easily in US.
All wrap from ST drums is Delmar. In fact most manufacturers the world over use Delmar wraps. It’s the industry standard.
Olivia doesn’t really do much 😂😂😂
Yeah, Olivia did it all by herself... ;)
And she is very pretty too.
Those shells should have been properly sanded inside and out before wrapping! Hideous!
Actually, we did sand it inside and outside - even though you can't see it in the video (you can see a bit of outside sanding at 1:48 though). We tried to make the video as a tutorial for rewrapping in general, and you don't need to sand every drum on the inside if you want to rewrap it.
Try removing the wrap on a vintage American drum set,it's glued all the way aroung,you'll lose that happy face
yes - we were lucky with that pearl wrap, but we know the pain you are talking about 😢
70s ludwig black cortex rap be really bad to pull off? i'm thinking of rewrapping. this kit is thrashed but sounds so good!
Use a heat gun
Glass glitter wraps are the worst of all to remove!
Those shells are hardly worth rewrapping. Japanese firewood.
