2020Refinishing_d2_ddrums

After building furniture out of a drum shell pack that came with no hardware, I decided to try to refinish a drumset. I bought a d2 ddrum shell pack from a local music store (Music Shoppe in Harrison Ohio). The kit had been sitting there for many months. It was a fun process which took 8 hours to do (over almost 2 weeks). I had been looking for a kit for a friend for several months. He wanted a kit for recording so I thought I would try my hand at making a so-so sounding kit with a warped wrap look and sound great. I am very happy with the results. I plan to get a little more adventurous on staining the next kit but first I'm trying out hand-hammering a snare drum. We'll see how that goes.
