Drums are generally beautiful instruments and can last beyond a lifetime if taken care of. This week we explore some methods for cleaning drum shells of various types along with some approaches for cleaning hardware. We’re featuring a lacquer finish, stain/satin/raw finish, and an aluminum shell.
Please note: there are plenty of alternatives out there and we’d LOVE to hear what you’ve had experience with in the past. These have worked quite well for us! Please ALWAYS test these methods in a small, hidden area on the drum in the event that the results aren’t positive. We do not accept responsibility in any way.
Lacquer Shell: Griot’s Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax
Satin/Raw Shell: Watco Tung Oil
Tension Rods: White Lithium Grease
Hardware: 0000 Steel Wool
Aluminum Shell: Eagle One Nevr Dull
