Attached are a couple of pics of my newly recovered Pearl drum kit, featuring your sizzling Fire Blue Satin Flame wrap. As you can see, the drums turned out great, and it was a fantastic gift for my 14-yr old son this past Christmas.

A few comments about the project... a couple years ago, I picked up a very worn Pearl Masters kit on eBay, and then the drums just sat in a closet until I got the guts to tackle such a project. Your custom-crafted wraps eased any initial trepidation I might have experienced. The vintage kit consisted of 4 pieces — 22" bass, 12" and 13" toms, and a 16" floor tom — and the shells were 4-ply birch. Since the drums were to be a surprise, I converted a small office at my place of business into a workshop, which allowed me to work at my own pace, since the project also involved refurbishing the shells and installing all new hardware, heads, rims, etc. Due to a measuring error on my part on the 16" floor tom, I got your replacement wrap after the holiday, which actually gave my son and me a chance to work together to finish up the project. I must say, working with a second person — even a teenager — is preferable and more enjoyable to working solo in getting the wraps on straight.

All in all, the project was a ton of fun, hugely gratifying, and everyone who has seen our kit has been absolutely blown away by the professional look that comes from the custom wrap. In fact, the sight of our flashy new drums elicited the biggest smile I ever saw with my daughter's long-time piano teacher, who was a drummer during his high school and college days — he couldn't resist sitting down to try out the kit.

In closing, I hope you have continued strong success with your custom drum wraps — I would definitely work with JamminSam again on any future drum recovering project!  John Babyak - Weston, CT

I've finished my electric kit with your wrap. When I called I had my mind set on Blue Satin. You told me about Fire Blue Satin Flame and with sight unseen I took the plunge. Well... I love it. Others think it looks pretty cool too. I don't recall seeing any other electric kits on your site and I know you do not have any kit pictures of the Fire Blue Satin Flame. Here are a few pictures. They are shot in my rec room which does not have the best of lighting. When winter is done ravaging us I might get it outside to take some better pics. Thanks again for the suggestion. The product is great, easy to install as well. I have some nuts I'd like to cover as well. If you ever have any tiny scraps left over I sure could make use of them. Please keep me in mind.
Take care and Happy New Year! Regards,
Jamie
