Hi Sam, I bought some drum wrap from you a few weeks ago and thought you might
like to see the finished product. It's actually a kit I built myself, and
it was my first attempt at building one. (I think it turned out pretty
well, too, even though I may be a little biased.) I wanted a kit that
combined the look of a vintage kit with some of the aspects of the newer kits,
like a bass drum without the tom mount and modern, heavy duty spurs. The
vintage [sky] blue pearl wrap I got from you definitely gives it a classic,
vintage look.
Before I started working on my kit, I did a lot of research on building drums on
the internet. While doing this research, I came across your web
site. I had never heard of using hi-bond tape to cover drums, but it
sounded a lot easier than using glue, especially for someone with little to no
experience like me. I had also seen your name and web site mentioned on
some of the drum forums I had been visiting, all of which had very positive
comments, so I thought I'd give it a try. I think the results speak for
themselves. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. It only took
a few hours to cover them, and it was very easy. Everybody that has seen
the drums, has nothing but good things to say abut them, especially when I tell
them I built them.
Needless to say, I'm sure I'll be building more drums in the future, and I'll
definitely be purchasing the drum wrap from you. A very satisfied
customer, Davey Staton (drummer for Heros Severum) herosseverum.com

Hi Sam, Happy New Year! Just wanted to send you a note to say thanks.
Finished my drum restoration project over Christmas and had a great time!
The wrap and the parts arrived with supersonic speed to the other side of the
world, well packed and undamaged. Thanks! It took me some time to restore the shells ready to wrap including sanding
repairing and re-cutting the bearing edges but the wrap was the easiest and
most pleasurable part of the job...The results are great. The new Pearl style lugs we're a perfect solution
to re-chroming my existing ones and the kit looks brand new! This is an older maple shell Pearl MX kit from the 80's I bought cheap to fix
up and re-sell and I love it so much I've decided to keep it instead.
It's interesting to compare to my other kit (a Birch/Mahogany shell Pearl Session series kit) as I don't think the sound suffers from "wrapping" at all.
The bass drum and 16" floor tom on the new [rewrapped] kit sound massive!
I'm now looking forward to another project as soon as possible which might
utilize some White Marine Pearl from Jammin' Sam. Thanks again for the friendly and professional service.
Kind regards, Jim Moody Melbourne, Australia
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
