jeff, I will used Goof-Off to remove the paint it works great on removing paint's and it does not hurt the finish..

I know the photo is not the best its from the listing,but looking at it when i made it bigger it's looks to be silver sprakle oe W.M.P. under the paint,I does not look like tape has been on the drum..

Now the wait to i get the drum.,,,Mikey

The drum came in today.Now the run down on the drum..

The shell is 9 ply wood

the strainer needs to be replaced-i have them N.O.S..

The shell has no extra holes..

The cool cool part the shell in Not Silver Sparkle or even W.M.P.

The shell is Blue D.P..

I will post some before and after photos when i have some time to work on the drum...Mikey
