Drum Restoration Tutorial 12 inch Tom

[@russellesimonetta9071]

Very old school tip,, smear a little Vaseline on the ends of the tension rods. They will make tuning nice and smooth without any rust build up.

I prefer white lithium grease

Nice job. Years ago, I restored an old 5-piece Gretsch drum kit. Took me forever to do it but the results were rewarding.

Great job. I’ve restored a lot of old drums over the years and the foil/WD40 is a great tip. There’s nothing more satisfying than playing a kit that you’ve personally restored. Greetings from New Zealand.

I got an old Yamaha YD series kit to restore. Thank you!

[@genenorman8984]

[@BadChizzle]

I’m sad to find there is no next video. I understand… though. Not many watching. Sorry man… hope you’re doing well! 👍🏼✨

[@genenorman8984]

Sorry, I just saw this. Here is a link to a mic test with the 10-inch Tom kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OznoKblrChis0

I never tried windex? Do you think that would clean up on painted drums? I have heard of aluminum foil on hardwood but haven’t tried with WD-40? Great idea! I’m just researching how to clean up my drums. Mine aren’t nearly bad as this drum! Thanks for the advice!

Beautiful work but Windex on the shell wrap with paper towels?

[@dzl8596]

You gonna dis the man's video and not provide a better solution?

[@javierserranoyoutube]

@@dzl8596 Nope. I am now using Sprayway amonia-free glass cleaner and microfiber rags. No paper towels. Works well for me.

[@genenorman8984]

It worked beautifully. That's all that matters.

[@haraldledabyll6261]

[@MM-vu8dp]

[@belvis101]

This is great

[@thedemonshow4239]

Hello how did you restore the cromo ?

[@genenorman8984]

WD40 and aluminum foil. Technique is in the video.

[@StephanMitsch]

yo what did you do about the screws?

[@genenorman8984]

I did not do anything to the screws. They were in Fairly good shape

[@alanduncan1980]

A very old PDP? The name PDP has probably only been around for the past 20 years or so. As far as drums go, I wouldn't put this in the "very old" category.

[@genenorman8984]

You can age a drum Mighty fast if you abuse it and store it in a non-climate-controlled basement with water on the floor. The drums were a basket case when I got them

[@justinhaynes1085]

What happened? Are you dead?
