Many thanks for this tip, this could be just the ticket for completing the cleaning up process on these rust stains.
The lug screws and washers originally had a coat of white paint over them matching the inside of the wooden shells which the rust had eaten in to. Now that they are cleaned up I'm thinking of perhaps giving the screws and washers a light coat of white primer paint which will keep the rust from returning and should restore the original look of the inside of those drums.

I'm pretty sure I learned here that they used Ben. Moore paint, same stuff you get at paint stores.
It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

First try white vinegar sometimes it works
April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

It seems that using a combination of white vinegar and fine grade wire wool has done the job of removing the worst of those rust stains. Cleaning the area with a rag that had been dipped in white vinegar removed the worst of it and then any stubborn stains that remained were rubbed gently with the fine grade wire wool followed by another cleaning on the area with the vinegar.
