Nice work...

Would you share how you removed the original finish off the drums? Sander or chemicals?

congalou......The Folkloricos look much better this way. Great job. By the way....how did you handle the issue of the Bands. Did you remove them, or leave them on the shells? Just curious since this subject has popped up from time to time.

Great job on those folkloric series! They look great now. Hopefully with some decent skins those drums can sound better than the horrible skins Pearl put on them from factory.
