 Staining my drums?
One morning i got this crazy idea to take the wrap off my shells and stain the wood underneath,
ive been pondering this idea for a couple weeks now
so yesterday i finally got the nerve to take off the wrap on one of my toms
it was pretty simple; not much glue it just needs sanding in a few spots
i think im gonna go for a darker walnut color stain im hoping for a nice vintage look
the kit is a cheap Coda five piece that a friend gave me so i literally have nothing to loose
am i crazy or does anyone think itll look good?
opinions? anyone?

it'll prolly look like a coffee table, but go for it. it will be unique and u can tell ppl it's an expensive custom kit!

That's exactly what I'm doing! I have a cheap CB 5-Piece. You stole the idea from me! J/K I'm pretty sure it will look killer. Please post some pics when you have it all done! I wanna see!

not to be a joykill or anything... but those shells aren't really made for staining.
there is a reason none of those super low-end kits come in any wood-stained / dyed finish.

hes right. they dont have nice outer plies like sets that come stained do. but you can do it. and the chances are it will come out nice looking
