You got it easy !!

When you have the trim off the drum, put a piece of 220 sandpaper around a small cleanning sponge. with a little pressure, sand with the grain in long strokes to remove the top coat that has faded. The paper will become fine the more you use it, wont take but a half hour, then before you re-install the trim, re-apply top coats letting them dry in between (12 hours). If you go with the same satin finnish, at least two coats.

If you use liquid cleaners, you run the chance of makeing the wood darker, uniformly darker, but still darker. Light wood gets darker when treating it and dark wood gets lighter. The guy who finnished it, did it the way I posted up top !!

You may get lucky and have particle accumulation and a good wood cleaner will do, but it looks like UV fadeing to me and in that case, remove the old finnish and apply new.

Remember, you`re changeing someone`s work. Are you gonna use tube lugs ?

Best way to clean fade take drum sand it all around with a fine sand paper remove lacquer. After that is done respray 3 coats of lacquer one at a time and let dry. After you do such remove shine from lacquer complete with fine steel wool and then apply paste wax all fade will be remove and drum finish will be like new.

The newer tube lugs can be cut to size in the middle tube, I believe !!
