Part 2 of my DIY drum restoration project. This video will take you through exactly how to upgrade drum hardware. How I updated all of the old chrome to black drum hardware ...with no skill and on a shoestring budget. I am pretty new to drum building and who knows, this may be my only project, but I learned a lot about refinishing drums in my trial and error. I hope you like how this Pearl drum set came out. I am pretty happy with it... and remember, if I can learn to restore drums... you can too! #pearldrums #drumrestoration #drumfinishing #drumhardware ‪#evansdrumheads‬ ‪#drumbuilding‬ #drumbuilder‬ #VicFirth

Best product for blacking out chrome hardware is from the automotive side of things...Duplicolor CHROME BLACK. Find at any auto parts store. Made for blacking out chrome wheels and other chrome automotive parts. About $18, comes in a two part kit - blacking, and clearcoat. No priming needed and it's very strong. It keeps the very shiny and metallic chrome look while getting a nice blacking effect. Lots of videos on KZfaq with guys using on their wheels and other chrome parts.You can go from a shadow haze to full on black, just by the # of coats applied. I did all my hoops and lugs - SUPER EASY to use. AND, Duplicolor makes other colors for tinting chrome - I did my snare hoops and lugs in RED -- looks EPIC!

@@fletchlivesdaily348 The Chrome Black hasn't shown any wear so far (it's on the toms, so not so much for rim shots), and is very durable - of course it would be, because it's original use is for car rims, so you can imagine the abuse from the road. However, the red does chip a little because of rimshots, but not much and is easily re-spray coated if desired. I also colored a set of hihats, two crash cymbals and a ride with the red (two light coats of red and two coats of clear sealer), no major wear or chipping on the cymbals. But beware - the coating does control the sound (read "mute") a little, so they take on a darker personality. For bright shimmery cymbals this may be acceptable if you're ok with a darker more controlled sounding cymbal instead of bright shimmering tone.

Just a tip for anyone thinking of trying to spray their lugs. Get a rod that you don't care about and screw it into the lug or fill it with masking tape before spraying the lug. This way the inside of the lug won't get any paint sediment caught in the threads.

@albertdewulf7688 5 ай бұрын

I have the exact same lugs on my old kit. I would suggest to anyone else trying to do this to completely disassemble each individual lug, the spring and the tapped tube that the tensioner goes into pop out. This way you can keep the spring clean, and avoid a build up of paint in the spot where the tube emerges which could inhibit its movement. Just my two cents. Also if you have these lugs and you notice a lot of weird ringing from your drums, it could be the springs in the lugs. You can use small strips of scrap fabric stuffed inside the springs to absorb the sound without inhibiting movement. Cheers

thedrummersalmanac Will do! It’s not too bad once you have the jigs built. I’m currently working on those. Once they are don’t it’s just simply cutting the angles based on the amount of staves you want. uniontownlabs.org/tools/stave/ is a great tool to calculate the staves you need. Then glue, true up the O.D. and the I.D. with a router. Then finish. I hoping for mid-summer to be complete. I’m also toying with the idea of making that kit a nesting kit. I like the concept, I just don’t want to sacrifice sound quality due to having odd sized toms.

Bubbles tend to happens when the surface isn't 100% dry or the spray paint has a reaction to a chemical that you may have used to clean the surface that you are spraying.

@Thedrummersalmanac 3 жыл бұрын

Makes sense, but I never got them wet and I sanded each piece and used any kind of cleaner on them... and the rustoleum worked great. Two years later and the hardware hasn’t chipped. I’m sure Krylon is good for some things, but for this it was a total fail.

Sometimes depending on what chemicals are in the paint, they can react with the metal or surface that you are spraying on, causing bubbles or cracking. There isn’t really much you can do about it other than use different paint that doesn’t have those chemicals.

@Thedrummersalmanac 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah... It coulda also just been a lemon of a can? I've used that spray on other projects since... In fact, I just sanded some rust off an old ax that got left outside in the rain. I used that exact can to respray it. The ax did the same thing. It all bubbled up. Being that this Krylon spray is supposed to work on all metal surfaces... I have no explanation for this but after that, the can went in the garbage. lol

@vincentbuonora8477 3 жыл бұрын

....takes patience to let each layer dry, sand, stain, repeat. The black hardware seems to compete with the wood grain. From a color theory, artists and interior decorators might use a coral white for the lugs against the umber shell color. But you could also test other stains, ie green with gold lugs and so forth....Keep workin’ on cheap drums to practice the matching possibilities. The gloss comes across nice. IMHO the black is too pessimistic while chrome or bright color lugs would give a lot more warmth. Good work, DYI still takes patience.....

Etch prime first. Then paint.

@Thedrummersalmanac 5 жыл бұрын

Ya know I was gonna try that... In fact that grey topped Krylon can in back of the other three is a primer. Since the two colors that I chose advertised Paint + Primer in one... I wanted to see how they did without priming first. I ended up really liking the Rustoleum, which went on great in one coat... If I was really married to the Krylon color, then I would have primed first, which probably would have solved the issue with the bubbling. Have you had more success priming then painting in two separate steps VS. using these all-in-one sollutions? I'd love to hear about what you've done so I can give it a try on future projects!

The Krylon bubbled up because the paint likely had a chemical reaction to the chrome finish on the lug. It would have been better to strip the lug back completely, clean with a rubbing alcohol, prime, then spray light coats until you reach the desired level of coating. But hey, in the end it all looked great.
