Speaking of pimpin' your kit...  You might want to add a huge bling-bling spinner rim on your kit...

Thanks to bro bangbus for the video.[/color]

 

youre welcome bro drumster, i hope you guys like it, i love spinnin it myself, reminded me of the roleta of yakult in kwarta o kahon...the ddrum rep said they used a real 22 inch wheel for that, i noticed din the spinner itself of the brand 'chopper'. they make the spinner wheel/cap portion for the mags, u can buy em separately, around 8-10k a piece. the ddrum kit cost like a sonor sq2 6-pc kit, 700k php.

i wrapped my kit last may and i should say it turned out perfectly fine naman. i would suggest that you go for re-wrappin your kit rather than repaintin or varnishin it. saves u the hassle and time. easy peazy lemon squeazy. it took me a day to finish wrappin my entire kit...thanks to an electric screwdriver and an evans electric screw driver tension key.

whoa bro pmack, i wish i had one but realistically i would rather buy a car and a rolex watch than spend 700k on a drum kit. i saw one at a show and i got to test it, it really is the business! specially if you would see the internal shell, it is as aesthetically impressive as the outer shell. see the sq2 golden madrone kit below. pmack you rock more! OT: i've been listenin to your drum recording every now and then, i must say ganda talaga ng sound ng kit and cymbals mo.

ok nga din wrap ko na lang kaso gusto ko habulin ung kulay nung bgo na drums eh. bhla naaaah! hihi! ty sa suggestions mga master

[legnacilyz]

bro killua, try mo gamitan ng pang wallpaper! yung mei adhesive.. nabibili sa SM hardware, yung nakabalot na tigti-3 meters ata yun? pili ka nlng ng design.. pambalot sa shells.. ganun ginawa ko sa stock steel snare fernando ko nun eh.. mukha daw sig series.. wala lang! share ko lang!

cheers!!! 

[johanncalabig]

Tip lang bro. Be careful sa pag alis ng wrapping and make sure na walang matitirang adhesive residue sa shells. Matinding liha ang gagawin mo dyan. Kung may mahihiraman ka ng belt sander, mas ayos yun at mabilis. Pero final finishing touches dapat kamay pa rin. Make sure smoother grain na sandpaper ang gamiitin mo for final touches. Wou might want to use/experiment with woodstain and top coat of varnish. Goodluck!

i agree sir, para sakin kasi less mistake pag wrapping technic and pantay lahat ng kulay ng toms mo 

[killuaxp]

ty sa advice ah. naisip ko na din yan eh kaya lang yung pimp ko yung lumang drums gusto ko sana mahabol yung kulay ng bago para maidagdag ko siya sa bagong set. pero check ko pa din baka sakali meron kakulay.hihi! ty

i've sent them an email requesting for small actual samples of 3 choices of mine, namely: oak burl, south american rosewood, and walnut burl. i hope they will send me some soon so i could decide. but for sure this will be a project that i will accomplish next year na lang. kasi i have just applied a new wrap to my kit recently which i really am happy about. pero at least may reserve ako na wrap. thanks ulit kimboy

 

[legnacilyz]

mga sir, mukhang international yang veneers na yan ah.. hehehe.. wala po bang locally available na maiinam na veneer? mukhang magandang idea na gawing drum wrap directly ang 10mil na veneer! hehehe..

cheers!

id think twice though about using veneers. ordering abroad is risky, veneers are so fragile im afraid they'll never get to you in good condition plus shipping will be huge. when i order my veneers from cagayan de oro, they come sandwiched between 1/4" plywood, imagine having something that big shipped by dhl, fedex, ups. not cheap.

you can get exotic veneers at magellan located at pasong tamo extension makati. burls, bird's eye maple and exotic veneers start at 35k per 8x4 sheet. i have their samples at home.

then if you think application is easy, think thrice. veneers are prone to bubbles. unless you are using superfast drying glue, you need a vacuum bag to apply even pressure on the shell while it dries. fast drying glue is unforgiving, there will be no time to correct slanted veneers.

so assuming you went ahead and successfully applied the veneers on your kit, you still have to apply a top coat to them. sand a little, use sanding sealer, sand again and repeat till satisfied. apply clear coat and sand and repeat till you are 



im not really discouraging you guys...its just more practical to buy a new kit than use veneers...then again its just me

noted! thanks for the heads up peeves! you're truly a gem!
