Ok, I had nasty glue on my rogers set, champaign sparkle same finsh as yours. Use Goof Off! Its strong acetone **** that wreaks. It works magic on drums. If Goof Off wont take it off, NOTHING WILL! Trust me, on my rogers set, I realized I couldnt match the cracked wrap in the floor tom, so I delaminated it, saw the stunning natural maple shell and decided to do a clear coat over the raw shell. Cool thought but rogers must have put 20 thick coats of contact cement on when the wrapped the drum. Goof off took it right off with a good SHARP scraper. I only needed to use medium grit then fine grit on a finshing sander. No belt sander to worry about scratching the drum.
A lesson to all drum restorers, If Goof Off wont take it off, nothing will!!!

P.S. Its afordable stuff too, $20 for a gallon at homedepot or lowes.
P.P.S. Theres no substitute for Goof Off, ive tried EVERYTHING and the stupid sales person at home depot wouldnt sell me goof off right of the bat, he said it was a last resort. It may be strong stuff, but Its safe enough, I use it on a brand new wrapped green sparkle finsh just to clean it to a shine. I feel confident using it in everyday cleaning knowing it will not damage my drums in the long run or discolor the finsh.
