Here is Pearl Folklorik I have refinish, rosewood color and mat varnish.

Your craftsmanship and love of the drum continues to astound with beautiful work.

They look incredible!

Sooooooo much better than the "sunburst" factory job they came with! Great work Abure Congalou!

Thanks guys !!

Onile, I think too !!

Nice work...

Would you share how you removed the original finish off the drums? Sander or chemicals?

Hi, Kidcuba,

Sanding.

G.

congalou......The Folkloricos look much better this way. Great job. By the way....how did you handle the issue of the Bands. Did you remove them, or leave them on the shells? Just curious since this subject has popped up from time to time.

Also................Do you know what kind of wood they are?

Hi !!

I remove them, but it was a s...t to re-install them. I will take photos and show you.

Hevea wood.

Here is the photo of the job : a metal piece with dark varnish for hide the bad "welding". fix with vis.

Great job on those folkloric series! They look great now. Hopefully with some decent skins those drums can sound better than the horrible skins Pearl put on them from factory.

I noticed one of the drums has a Remo Skyndeep head....do you know what model no. it would be? Just for reference...
Thanks,
