Welcome to the VDF! If you can a few photos posted that would greatly help evaluate your best course of action. Judging from what I read though a wrap may be your best bet. We'd have to see how " too deeply " you sanded. There is the possibility of filling those spaces with food filler.

here are a few

If you were to get wood filler ( one that is natural wood color ) you could fix that up. You dug in a little, but I don't think you've gone too deep. The other ( likely less desirable option ) would be to sand the rest of drum to the same level.

Ive got some wood filler here at the house i think i might give that a shot tomorrow. When i started this project i honestly didn't realize how much work it actually was. ha ha at this point I'm beyond ready to get this stuff over with. thank you jay i really appreciate it bud.

I would pick a really cool wrap and do em all. Nice kit, I love those mach lugs on Ludwig drums. Red Sparkle would look killer with all that chrome!

Best of luck with your kit. If you need any help, you came to the right place.

I`m trying to figure out why you sanded and sanded and where the damage is.

Take the drum off the wall and stand it up in good light take close ups.

Did you chip out pieces, scratch across the grain, because all you`ve done is remove finish.

I would leave the leg mount footprint because it says it`s your drum.

Your entire sanding time should be with the grain.
