Hey Sam! Here are some pics from the drum overhaul I recently did
using you True Black Glass Glitter wraps! This was originally a wine red
wrapped Mapex Mars Pro kit I purchased back in 1995. It has been through
a lot over the years (including some too-moist environments) but has remained
good-sounding. I started the redo project with the idea of painting the
shells according to a custom design idea I had. I soon found that the
outside birch wood layer had swollen and shrunk back and was too damaged to
sand and paint with good results. So, I began searching for wraps and found
your web site. I was torn between the Black Glass Glitter finish (for the
awesome looks) or the Black Sparkle finish (for the price). In the end,
after talking to you and looking at the pictures on the website for days on
end, I went with the Glass Glitter - and I am so glad I did that! It looks
awesome in the light and sparkles brilliantly under a camera flash. I can't
wait to see my set on stage at our next show.
Installation was a snap with your well-written instructions. Along with the
wraps, I polished all of the chrome hardware and put on new drum heads. I
used Remo Ebony heads on the bottom - they look great next to the Black
Glitter finish! I'll send more pics from our first show! Thanks for
helping me bring my drums back to life! Morgan King (1995 Mapex Mars Pro)

Hi Sam, Just thought you'd like to see how things turned out on
my very first drum wrap project. This is a 4 piece Premier APK kit
from the late 90's which was finished in a white pearl wrap. The finish
was faded & badly scratched as you can imagine. Luckily the original
wrap came off with no problems, the hardest part was removing the badges
but I got them in the end. The drums are now finished in the Black Glass
wrap & look awesome. I have 3 other projects stacked up in my garage
so you can be sure on hearing from me again very soon.
Thanks again, Peter

The Attached photo is my drumset wrapped with True Black Glass
Glitter. It looks Awesome. I have 10", 12" 14" 16" toms
that mount to a Gilbraltar drum rack. My kick is 22"x 20 long [for a] deep sound. All drums are
maple shells, custom built, [with] Evans drum heads (EC2s) on top, and
black Evans heads on all the bottoms. Currently I use this set for our country band called the
Most Wanted Band. www.themostwantedband.com.
Thanks,
Gary Cumpian
