maybe use a hair dryer to heat the area some to see if it will soften up the adhesive. once you get the wrap stuff off, i'd try goo gone. I will probably need to sit and soak some though. just an idea.

The other day I cleaned up a kick that had gaffer tape running around the shell on the wrap. I started with a soapy sponge and ended up using WD-40 and buffing, which worked well and didn't affect the finish on the wrap. I'd be curious as to what others use, but this worked out well for me.

ive also used wd40 with success.

Goo Gone works really well. Just keep it from the seam of the wrap, as it will melt the glue and lift the seam.

Goo Gone or Goof Off and a lot of elbow grease. :D

I had the same issue with a 5 1/2 x 14 shell and black contact paper. Sit down in front of the TV with a roll of paper towels, bottle of Goof Off and a long movie. Apply some Goof Off to a good sized section of the shell to let it soften up the adhesive and then rub away.

I hope you like the smell of citrus.

I have tried lighter fluid on adhesive residue with good results.

Goo-Gone and -do not use any abrasive cloth-, microfiber or not on wrap. It will dull the finish. Use old fashioned paper towels or sponges. Nothing abrasive!

Nice drum.

Yep, NOTHING abrasive!!! It's like using steel wool on chrome! Sometimes, mineral oil will soften residue as well. Take your time. These old insruments are worth it.

I would use mineral spirets.
