Picture sent in (April 2008) by Jason Vanderpool from Swansea,
Massachusetts of his Ludwig snare drum. Beautiful work Jason!
Jason writes:
Please find the enclosed pics of the late 80’s Ludwig slotted coliseum snare I purchased the wrap material for. You guys did an excellent job
cutting the material, especially since it was two separate pieces made from four smaller ones. The taping job worked perfectly to hold it all
together and the high bond tape is like cement at the joint. My picture skills don’t translate the brilliance of the sparkle when the light
reflects off of it. The drum started off as an E bay players’ drum.
The wrap was coming unglued and the rivets were pulling out. I was going to stain it but after seeing the Web examples of the finishes, the colors
screamed out to me. The installation of the new finish was only frustrating because I didn’t know if I could line everything up correctly
but the well written instructions took most of that frustration away.
Judging by the pictures and positive response I’ve gotten from everyone that has seen it, I think I did pretty good. The grommet tool worked very
easily. Overall, the wrap was worth more than every penny I paid just in looks alone, not to mention this went so well I would do it again without
hesitation! Thanks for Everything, Jason Vanderpool
Picture sent in (November 2004) by Bob Chesarek of Renfrew, Pennsylvania of his
Jenco Vibraphone. Great work Bob!
Bob writes:
Hello Sam, I wanted to share the photos of my completed restoration of a
1950s era American made vibraphone. The instrument was in pretty bad
shape when I bought it. Thanks to your great web site and fantastic
selection of covering materials, as well as the phone support that you
provided, I was able to return this vibe to a like new condition.
The photos will also show those who are considering a project other than a
drum set that your products are very versatile. Thanks again and
best of luck! Bob
Picture sent in (September 2003) by John Langdon of "All Star Drum" from
Cumming, Georgia of his multi glass glitter snare. That is one great
piece of art John; and one great cutting job by Bill Butler of Sam Barnard!
John writes:
Sam is a great guy and his material is amazing. Totally professional
and easy to install. Ship time is very fast. Best of all, his
prices are the best! I get all my wrap from him now. John
Langdon, All Star Drums
Note: Because of the chosen lighting for the picture, the reflection
of the glass does not come through; that being the case, the finishes look
more like the sparkle finishes.
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
