AboutPaul E Expertise I can answer questions about repairing drums,recovering,modifying,and custom design. Questions about gigging ie. attitude to others, agents,punters,band members, family and friends etc.
The philosophy of drums in general, oh yea there is a philosophy in drums and drumming.
Experience Past/Present clients: I have played in the Uk, gigging with various types of bands, groups, artists, both on a local level, nationwide and in other countries, Australia, America and Amsterdam. I have been involved in recording studios, session playing and also teaching. I play in a local praise and worship band at present, and nationwide meetings as and when required.
Question Hi Paul: My name is John from the USA. I read your remarks regarding drum finishing. Excellent! But I just bought a "mid-range" gig kit (Premier Cabria) that has no interior shell finish. (No wonder they were so cheap) My Premier Signia kit has a clear finish on the inside. Since I have to keep these drums in my finished garage which has no air conditioning, I'm thinking I should coat them with something on the inside. Are Polyurethanes not acceptable? FYI: These shells are 7-ply Mohogany. Thanks,
John
Answer Hi John, thanks for ur kind comments, first of all, I dont know much about the Premier series of drums.
You mention two models in your question, which is it, the Signia or the Cabria.
Though if the shells of whatever model it is) has no interior finish, a couple of coats of any suitable wood varnish (remembering to sand down between each coat and cleaning off all the dust with a damp cloth) should suffice.
