I bought these shells a couple weeks ago. Was going to sell them here and then when no interest appeared I decided these would be good shells to practice on and try to improve my non existing skills. I think I want to do a dark stain on these. The bass drum already had some sanding done on the top of it. Lots of scratches. Some are still showing after sanding. The top doesn't look as good as the bottom still even after sanding.
-Please give any advise on finishing or if it isn't worth a natural finish.
I think I want to leave the bass drum original without a front head. I am trying to think of something cool or different I can do inside the drum. If you have any thoughts on that also. Maybe some type of lights or something. I may be getting ahead of myself here.
