I have a 22x12 WFL New Yorker bass drum that has a piece of wrap left in the scarf from when they originally wrapped it. I have heard a using a heat gun to set the wrap on fire. Would this be the way to get this piece out? I am still on the fence as to whether I will paint or re wrap but either way I feel this has to go!!
Any thoughts, opinions, experience would be great. Thanks in advance |

With a drum of that age, I wouldn't take a chance on doing harm to the drum. But that's just me. I have a 12" 60's shell in which someone did this. I wish they would have left the small portion of wrap in there. Kinda tells part of the story to a vintage drum as well. Just my thoughts.

No my drum did not have the wrap burnt out of it. They pried the shell apart to take the wrap out. Not a fan of that.

I would leave the piece in the scarf joint. You just going to booger it up if you try to get it out.

I had a 24" WFL bass drum. I took a very sharp blade and made a straight line and cut out as much as I felt comfortable taking. It didn't make a huge difference honestly but I thought I might rewrap that drum. I ended up selling it. Regret that every time I think about it! Good luck what ever you decide.

I think you should leave it in and deal with it, wrap would be best choice over paint I would think.

On a 15" Slingerland shell I re-wrapped the original wrap was fitted inside the scarf joint the same way. I removed all of the wrap except the remainder in that joint. Best bet is to leave it.
