hmmm though i havent seen its condition yet, I would say a good starting point is to take it apart, then clean each one. as in remove the lugs as well.
if it's made of steel truevalue or DiY or handyman is always there to supply chrome,steal cleaning aids. and an old toothbrush will come in handy with this one.
If it's made of wood, then polishing the surface would be ideal. but if it's got a few knicks and knacks, maybe you could take it to a wood shop and have it re-laquered. you would want to probably change the heads if its beaten down already and maybe the snare as well if its overly corroded.
If its made of steel or bronze or copper or alluminum and say its super corroded (for steel) or dirtied beyond cleaning or has got a few dents, take it to a car shop and have it painted to your desired color, and maybe while you're at the paint thing, how about finding an airbrush artist, and have him paint your design onto it. you can also paint the hardware like the hoops, lugs if you want.
oh and peeves24 does drum customisation, to be specific he makes drums at home so maybe getting in touch with him would be enlightening as well in this undertaking.
hope this helps. thanks. all the best in restoring it.
