I just did this last night to a Rogers drum, used a heat gun and a flat scraper to peel it after the glue warmed up a bit. It was fairly simple after that
Yes that's the way you do it. On a side note on the 1960's drums like Ludwig,Rogers,Slingerland, wrap in Pearl finish you can burn off the plastic wrap put the drum on the ground lite the finish on fire roll the drum on the ground with a metal pull the finish will be gone in 30 seconds. I have been restoring vintage drums for over the pass 40+ years. I was also part owner of Orange county drums and percussion in California in the 1990's
Great to stumble upon your channel! Looking forward to more videos like these. Do you build any shells/kits yourself, or is it mainly restoration work? Thanks.
Hey mate, yeah! Tony makes drums too, more from a prototyping and physics perspective than retail, but will do some steam, stave, ply and a couple of new methods in the future for the channel. There's a few dozen of his kit getting around, we will do a film and sound reveal on a few this year. Thanks for your comments and thoughts.
Hi Miguel, it general purpose paint thinners. However be aware that there are several grades of thinners, some cut down with less effective ingredients. So a quality general purpose paint thinners should be standard the world over, I hope. All the best with your project, and remember to never have a flame or heat source anywhere near paint thinners. Kind regards Tony Moore
Yes! Correct. Formica laminate, which is far more sonic than plastic wrap or nitro wrap, which is dead. Formica is highly compressed paper impregnated with phenolic resin.
The serial number indicates it was built in 1974 per the letter B followed by the number and the underline. No big deal, just thought you'd like to know.
Hey James, wraps often do deaden down drums, but they are usually the result of poorly applied wraps or outer veneers. But if you know what you're doing as a drum maker, a wrap can be applied to be no different to a ply. In fact i've demonstrate this in a video or two, but will do it again in an upcoming shoot, and I'll add a sound test to prove it. So subscribe and click the alarm to no miss it. Cheers
Have the exact same drum, same year, size, etc… with the exact same wrap and color! Video was Most helpful! Thank you! 🙏
You’re welcome. We have another Rogers resto project for the summer.

How did you get the glue off the shell? Did you leave it on and just rewrap? Or use thinners? Or sand?
Great tutorial, thanks!
You're welcome. Tony

Hey nice work👍🏻
What is the liquid you use to remove the wrap? Thx
Hey Erwan!
Thanks for the comment! Its general purpose paint thinners, should be able to pick some up from most hardware stores
@@KillerDrumsTV Thx from France👍🏻
You're welcome.
Do the thinners damage the shell in any way? I'm so scared of damaging my shells
Not in the slightest. Most lacquers are thinners based. But it will dislike any paint or plastic it touches.
Frog tape works great as well.
Please: what is the liquid product that you applied to dissolve the contact glue on the original wrap?
Thanks.

They actually used Formica to wrap drums?
Yes! Correct. Formica laminate, which is far more sonic than plastic wrap or nitro wrap, which is dead. Formica is highly compressed paper impregnated with phenolic resin.

Hey thanks for that, we always enjoy other people's expertise and input!
Dear god, why would you want to alter that drum? It looks great to me.
Brace yourself, a whole kit project is now underway.
👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks mate. Check out our other films.
Be very careful when sanding near the edges.. it can seriously mess them up.
Not in my shop. When you cut edges all the time, you could do it blindfolded. It's only the inexperience that have trouble with edges.
I don't care for wrap drums it kill the natural vibration of the shells .
