Wrap your drums with Vvivid Vinyl Wrap!

I recently re-covered my Pearl Reference Pure kit with Vvivid vinyl wrap that’s usually used for wrapping cars so I thought I’d put together a video on the process 👍🏼

[@joshferry3628]

I just followed this and it worked great. I did go with the Vvivid wrap and it is very forgiving. I used to do window tint many years ago and this was like butter. I ordered the Black Oak from Vivivid on Amazon. Like 46 dollars to wrap the whole kit. Thank you for this walk thru.

[@ianchandler944]

The walnut shells without any wrap looks so much better than with the wrap.

[@samuelpettit9841]

Yeah it’s certainly a nice finish, the beauty of wrapping them this way is that it’s completely reversible 👍🏼

[@Shin_Igami666]

You really did a fine work there, mate. Thank you for this video. It really is a great idea and a big help. CHEERS!!!

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Shrink tubing with a hairdryer. You'll love it. Its a way of life.

[@joshuawenk3485]

That drum looks amazing

[@theavenger3363]

Beautiful job, looks fantastic 👌😊

[@learningisgrowing]

Brilliant video - thanks for sharing

[@Jimmy-ex2ep]

Just completed a wrap on my 35 year old kit last week. More than pleased and this video was the tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@geoffbeckett2556]

Thanks Sam you've helped me make a decision, I'm doing it.

[@blueferrari397]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. These car wraps are certainly useful for many applications and I was looking to remove all my chrome hardware on my drums just to give them a clean and remove surface rust, so now will look to also apply this during the process.

[@360.Tapestry]

the texture looks great and the color effect looks extra impressive. i'm getting some 3d textures for mine

[@igotthchop]

TY Sam, very helpful!

[@ronregan2803]

Thanks for the awesome tips!!! I just bought my vinyl from vivid. I have re wrapped drums before with drum wrap never used car wrap. Just little nervous about it. Awesome video. I will post a picture when it's done!!

[@liamkatakouzinos3555]

It’s honestly a lifesaver that there’s a tutorial from an Australian as I’m in Aus but most of these tutorials use/recommend brands that don’t ship here

[@MadGearBand]

Thanks for this!

[@sammarchello8400]

Job well done Sam, now I know how to cover and complete a set of raw maple shell kit. 👍

[@samuelpettit9841]

Awesome Sam! Can’t wait to see how it looks when you do it 👍🏼

[@Rhythmic1]

It looks like the original finish of your Reference Series is in excellent condition. Before I use these on an old set of mine I just wanted to confirm that the vinyl wrap won't damage the original finish of the shell. From what I understand vinyl wraps on cars actually protect the paint underneath. Just wasn't sure if it would work the same with wood stained drum shells.

[@samuelpettit9841]

I’ve since removed this wrap and can confirm the finish underneath was 100% intact and original!

[@shanesawproductions5510]

Great video!. got me thinking about how this might change stage image tour to tour or help with performance themes and such. That reference pure kit is super cool too, i have yet to try a full kit but if i did i fear i may end up re mortgaging the house lol!. Not to mention projects like these are a guilty pleasure hahh. nuthin like just killing a whole day with a drum set when you have the time. I was a bit sceptical about that blue at first but once you put the hardware on....#thudboner lmfao!!!. That blue has me sold that kit will have striking stage presence!. Take care

[@robhill4352]

I have a 7 piece PDP concept maple in walnut brown and this is the exact video i was looking for. Im going for a seafoam green kind of aquamarine if they have it but i was particularly looking at the Vvivid brand.

[@BuzzieBee77]

Awesome to watch an easy step by step process on how to do this Sam. I have been contemplating on doing a matte black wrap on my Tama Starclassic. A million thanks for the upload mate..

[@richj7]

Did you end up doing it? How did it turn out? I just ordered the matte black wrap to cover an old Ludwig CS Elite kit with cracked clear coat.

[@BuzzieBee77]

@@richj7 No haven’t done it yet. It’s on the bucket list.

[@richj7]

@@BuzzieBee77 , well, my wrap came in today, so I will probably start this week. Will let ya know!

[@richj7]

Well, I pulled it off. Took me about 10 hours or so all told, but they look GREAT!

[@tq64to4]

I wrapped my Alesis strike pro se kit just like this. I'm about to change the color again and I've seen people leaving paper on the back and sticking with a 2" over lap at the end. I'm thinking about giving that a try this time🤷‍♂

[@SkeebleShark]

I am planning on doing the same to my kit now thanks to your video! I won't get the roll for about a month unfortunately, but I will be watching this over and over until it arrives! Thanks again!

[@SkeebleShark]

Update: I wrapped it using a black sparkle from the same brand and it came out great! The vinyl is very forgiving and easy to work with, had some small bubbles but I was able to pop and work them out no problem.

[@telsonalves8060]

Excelente o deu trabalho. A sua Pearl ficou belíssima, que azul bonito. Me inscrevi no seu canal do youtube. Sucesso para você.

[@joepulvirenti5728]

Great job im going to do mine in a champagne sparkle can you give me a tip on putting back the badges there screw in ones like how to match were the exact holes were .

[@jvoirin]

Anyway you can provide the color of blue you used? Love it!

[@liamelliott9836]

Hey sam nice work - any issues with bubbles around the lugs once tension rods are cranked? cheers!

[@checkpld4483]

Great video, thanks. Where did you boy the green wrap?

[@michaelweston1373]

can you link to the vvivid product you used?

[@jakeadams5145]

awesome video,what size of roll did you get?, I have the standard 5 piece kit 2up 2down, 22x18

[@ctrader6]

Another KZbinr using vinyl wrap experienced dippling at the lugs after tensioning the heads. What is your experieince? Thanks

[@nathanharper3114]

Awesome job! How big of a roll did you purchase?

[@michaelbysterveld4874]

You surprised me Sam ,I was expecting a Raiders colour. Oh and did you play in the sound track 'ole buddy?

[@ArturDrums]

I‘m about to wrap my kit next week. I am a bit concerned because of the bearing edge. 5mm per side should work fine, shouldn’t it?

[@Alaska_MD]

How did you get the length of the material correct. Just 16 inches x 3.14 and then cut to that? It seems like that seem wouldn't be perfect, but yours was.

[@stanleyc.348]

What was the product name of the first wrap? Im looking for that exact green

[@musikman337]

Which specific color is the blue u went with

[@michaelweston1373]

Nice look. How do you deal with the ends? Is there an overlap? If so, how much and do the lines show?

[@Assimilator702]

1” overlap is perfectly fine. For thicker wraps you. Igor have to make a notch in the areas where the heads overlap the edge of the shell.

[@SnackyHey]

This is beautiful. What is the name of the color?

[@Sassy.sunshineleo]

Do I need to use heat on this?

[@drumocto9220]

how to get off the air vents?

[@paksuzan2259]

where i can buy this pvc bro

[@H-Hour]

I'm disgusted in myself for having such affection for a drummer in the Pearl family. Nice presentation, Samuel my boy. xo

[@DEVUNK88]

cool. the irony for me is just before watching this I was thinking about building an orphan kit as you call it but just buying all different colored drums to make it all purposefully mismatched, lol kinda like this , "jelly bean kit" kzbin.info/www/bejne/moDXYWyKnbxje5o

[@ShawnxEdge]

Why would you cover up such a beautiful finish with something that looks cheap?

[@samuelpettit9841]

I spose the beauty of this is it's totally reversible and affordable and as much as I love the matte walnut finish, brown isn't a colour for every gig 😂 I definitely wouldn't do it on this kit if it altered the original finish in any way.

[@thodoris3790]

what about the bass drum hoops?

[@tommarks795]

Why cut it first? It’s much harder to align. Just trim it after it’s on.

[@samuelpettit9841]

Nah, I've tried that before and cutting/aligning is way easier.. for me anyway.
