Drum Wrap - White

Product Description

Drum wrap sold by the roll – an easy way to bring old drums back to life or finish a self-built shell from scratch. The wrap is easy to trim to size and comes in six colours, four of which are metallic.

• Available in 6 colours, 4 of which are metallic
• Sheet size 100x300 cm per roll
• Thickness approx. 0.5 mm
• Protective plastic film on top during transport
• Extra material included on the roll beyond the stated length

The wrap is delivered on rolls, and each sheet has a protective plastic film on top. The film can sometimes be a bit dirty and the sheet edges not perfectly straight – the manufacturer compensates for this by always including a bit of extra material on the roll, while keeping the price low.

How to Apply

Wrapping a drum is fairly simple. The shell should be free of hardware, and ideally free of any previous wrap. Cut a piece from the sheet so the width is about 5 mm less than the shell height – that way the wrap won't reach all the way to the hoop. Attach the wrap with double-sided tape, drill holes for the hardware and screw it back on. Done.

Tape Instead of Glue

Most people now use double-sided tape to attach the wrap – it's usually the easiest method and has the least impact on the shell's resonance. The hardware then holds the wrap in place so it can't shift. If you'd rather glue it, a spray adhesive such as 3M Display Mount works well.
