Pictures sent in (March 2006) by Garth Grob from
Vermilion, Ohio of his Slingerland drum set. Great work Garth!
Garth writes:
Here are a couple of pictures I thought you might like. The concert snare is an original Slingerland finish in
excellent shape. The Jazz kit is all recovered with your Vintage White Pearl. The match is about as close as you
can get. I cannot say enough good things about your product. I play in a band called the "Windjammers Big Band." I feel
like I'm going back in time when I play this beautiful vintage set. Your Vintage White Pearl makes this set fit the band and
the music perfectly. Your product helps makes dreams come true for all of us "Buddy Rich" wanna
be's. Best regards, Garth R. Grob

Picture sent in (January 2007) by Jason Shoemaker from Roseville,
California of his Preimer drum set. Beautiful picture Jason!
Jason writes:
Thank you for all of your help!! After a dozen price quotes I finally settled on
covering my 4-piece Premier Artist Birch kit from "Jolly green" to beautiful Vintage White Pearl. I'm not a do-it yourself-er,
but the finished product says it all! People couldn't believe these are my old drums, or that I did it myself. My next
project is a 1970's Ludwig kit. It will be fun working on it. Thanks again,
Jason Shoemaker

Picture sent in (5/05) by Justin Boncore from San Diego, California of his
snare drum. Great job Justin!
Justin writes:
Hi Sam, First of all I would like all drummers to know that there are
still some honest dealers out there! Which of course is Sam
Barnard. Regarding my lug situation, your honesty saved me money and
time. I took your advice somewhere else [another dealer] and because
of your honestly, my drum is now complete. Certain dealers don't do
that. Sam, you asked me detailed questions I didn't think about-
great customer service as though I was your only customer.
I like to mess with drums. I have this one odd shell 10x16 (American
made)...[that] I bought used for $15, [originally] blue sparkle.
[After filling unwanted holes] I called Jammin Sam, gave Sam my
measurements and color. Once again Sam expressed [helpful info.]- he
[desired to] cut it down just a bit so the drum head would fit
perfectly. It does too! I'm very impressed with this whole
process, it's just so simple. I know true facts from before and
after. Back in 1965-68 I worked in a drum factory "Drummers
Paradise" in Kenmore, New York. We made "E.W.
Kent". I worked everyday after school, and 8 hours on
Saturdays. The glue we used was very TOXIC. My grades in
school weren't very good, but I always had a smile on my face. Now
with Sam's drum wrap, it's remarkable for me to re-wrap a drum within
minutes w/ no toxins and looking great! I knew this drum would look
good, as I took a few steps back to photograph this drum, I had a
"look what I did" attitude. My wife is a clean freak, she
gets uneasy about drums, parts, etc. in the living room. When I
brought this drum in the living room she said, "Oh, that's pretty,
leave it there, it looks like a nice piece of furniture." Thanx
again Sam, Justin Boncore

Picture sent in (February 2004) by Patxi Lebrancon from Vitoria Gasteiz, Spain; of
his Maxtone drum set. Wonderful work Patxi and great camera
effects!
Patxi writes:
Hi Sam! The work is done. Here are some pictures of the "Maxtone"
drums recovered. This is a 20 year old set, originally black
wrapped, that was in awful condition. It took some time to bring it
to life again, but recovering really took the smallest part of it!
When I finished the work, I couldn't believe how easy it had been.
The material doesn't affect the sound negatively...just the opposite, the
drums sound better!!!! (I can't explain way) These drums have
received a lot of compliments, and many people couldn't recognize the set
as that old set I had. Thank you for your kind attention, fast
shipping and superb material Sam. We will work together again!

Picture sent in (August 2006) by Gregg Orchard from Austin, Texas of his
Ludwig snare drum with our "deluxe" throw-off. Terrific
work Gregg!
Gregg writes:
This is a picture of an old Ludwig snare that had been completely abused, and I mean abused.
I bought it 23 years ago at a flea market in St. Charles, IL. The shell had been
drilled, and I’m pretty sure the lug pattern was never anything Ludwig ever did. I sold the original 30’s style
throw off on Ebay. Anyway I salvaged the shell, lugs and brass hoops to come up with this finished product using
your wrap and new throw off and butt plate. I’ve still got some detail work to do
(new screws, etc.), but it sounds as good as it looks and the wrap was really easy to apply.
I’m sure I’ll be working with you again in the future. Thanks, Gregg
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
