I'm satisfied with the finish although not exactly like I wanted it.
I'm calling it Maple Syrup Glaze.........
The drum came to me with no hoops and only part of the strainer and 1/2 or the sparkle finish as you can see.
The wood was good enough for a natural finish so I went with that - but I have some Gold Sparkle wrap coming from PrecissionDrum just in case.
It sounds good and I'm playing it with my 58 Gretsch kit for now. It's got a nice ring - almost like a metal drum. I'm wondering if that's got something to do with the Poly reflective coat I put over the silver sealer.
