			<link>http://drumrap.yuku.com/topic/3903/t/Wood-hoopd-piccolo-snare.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi all,
<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anyone has either built or even seen a piccolo snare with wood hoops. I&#39;m talking real piccolo, 3 inches deep.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve got a 3x13 Pearl Maple piccolo shell, and I love the shell but hate the drum. I&#39;m stripping it off and starting fresh, and want to know if
it&#39;s possible to fit wood hoops on it, and still fit the strainer on the side.
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.
<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s been a long time since I&#39;ve been here.  I would like to ask a few questions on rebuilding an old Pearl Wood/Fiberglass set.  The shells are
fiberglass lined Luan wood shells.  Very porous wood.  Would I be better off gluing the wrap on the shells or using the tape method?  If I use the glue, should
I put one coat on to seal the wood and then install the wrap with a second coat?

Also, I want to use drum key tension rods on the bass drum.  Do I measure from the threaded... ]]></description>

I have been reading through the forums pretty hardcore for the last couple of months, trying to prepare to take on my first adventure of building a snare drum.

<br>
I just recently received my 5.5&quot; x 14&quot; 10 ply Keller Maple shell.  I had the bearing edges cut for me - but I am wanting to do the snare beds... ]]></description>

A friend gave me his 68&#39; ludwig drum kit, He got it new in 68&#39;. It&#39;s a basket case. But all the hardware is there, and in good shape. His son
started to strip the finish off, with stripper. there are a few repairs needed. But the big Thing i was wondering about is, The Re- Hoops are not true, and the
over lap in the shell, These look hand made, out of round, shell&#39;s.How do you go about re-cutting the edges,when the shell on the inside and out are not
the same... ]]></description>

i guess i was thinking in a similar way to tama&#39;s starclassics...

i&#39;ve been pricing custom ones out, and aside from being on the spendy side, i don&#39;t really want to drill a couple of extra holes in my shells.

i was thinking of stained / finished drums you could apply the decal after the stain and and simply apply your clear coat over it. wouldn&#39;t the clear coat
be thick... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Was having trouble applying Formby's Tung Oil over
          Minwax Gel Stain. Called Minwax for advice. Turns out
          Formby's is their sister company and they told me that
          Formby's Tung Oil is not compatible with Minwax Gel
          Stain. I was advised to strip my shells back down,
          re-stain with Minwax Gel Stain and then use Minwax Tung
          Oil over that. To put it more succinctly, Don't use
          Formby's Tung Oil over Minwax Gel Stain. ]]></description>
