Try not to use a machine sander on the gons bops mahogany!!!!!!!!!!!
Especially if its from the 70's, of course the way you store your drums can make a big difference.
I say this because I tried refinishing my GB's a couple years ago, and blam the staves split at the rim ahh.........%^$*
Luckily I did some repair work before, so I was able to fix it.\whew, its called resin for marine use.
The easiest way to get the finishes bulk is to get a straight piece of aluminum about 3x5" some furniture places have this.
Use it to scrap the finish off, then do light sanding by hand.
