 AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I just realised that you shouldn't put your drums in front of a window uncoverd. My drums were white. Beautiful white. Now the left side of my right bass drum and the side of my 14" floor tom have a yellow tint from the sun. Is this fixable? If it's not, I won't sweat it, I'm cool, totally chill..............(fuck) haha
I mean it's not that noticable but still, ugh.

It's fixable by re wrapping the drum.

They are lacquer.

It's fixable by sanding and painting then?
Stuff like that isn't fixable unless you're willing to re-finish.

Yeah, sounds you've naturally stained the wood. Either you can get the drums refinished...
or...
Just let all of your drums stand in front of the window, and get the color on all of your drums. Re-finishing might cost some serious blood to your pocket, but just naturally staining the wood all around, now from a white you go to a pastel yellow.
Just a suggestion.

Any drum in the sun light will change color. It can also effect the shell if it has direct exposure for a long period. Keep your stuff covered dude!! P.O.Y!

My first kit was sencind hand and had suffered the same treatment before I bought it. I refinished it myself.... It'll pass but it's nothing special! If you're kits worth some money, I'd get it redone properly.

Just read some other post reference the same. Buying white drums apparently is a bad idea

Buying any drums and leaving them for months on end in direct sunlight is the bad idea. The black ones would have been damaged as well.
