Anyone know this wrap? ;-)

Posts: 545 Threads: 67

Anyone know this wrap? No? Could very well be. It's a special paint. I've been doing a project lately. Restoring/special-painting a Beverly Blue Badge 22/12/13/16. The colour is hard to capture on camera, it's a mixture of light turkisch blue, dark turkisch blue and gold. Finished in satin laquer. It took me quite some experimentation to get it.

I was inspired by pictures of very old trap-kits I saw on google.

I finished this 12" tom today. It will be a while before I finish the whole kit, but when it's finished I'll place it in the gallery.

Thanx, I must say it looks better in person, has a certain glow.

How I made it:

I started with stripping and sanding.

Then I applied a pretty thick terpentine based primer. I put on a thick layer and allowed it to dry for a week. It filled the wood grain. Then I sanded it as thin as possible. The wood grain was gone.

I mixed turkish blue pigment with the same primer. Untill the right color. Then applied it in a very thick layer. Allowed it to dry for an hour or so, untill the paint got a little stiff. Then, with a swift hand, using a ragged down old and rough brush, I made a texture in the thick paint. Allowed to dry for a week. Applied a good quality artists goache gold paint. Fixed it with rattle-can colorless laquer. Applied a darker turkish blue artists gauache paint. Allowed the complete build up of layers to dry for another day. Then I used grit 180 on a sanding machine on a low idling speed and sanded the build up of layers untill I saw all colours back, in the right relative visual weight.

Then I applied several layers of colourless laquer to finish.

Those lugs were also used for time in the eighties on the Premier Projectors (my bass drum below).

Nice kit. For as far as I know. Beverley kits were sold in America as Premier Projectors.

THAT is a great finish - and what a nice way to make it!

Fantastic!

Actually, Projectors (in Europe at least) only uses the large bassdrum lugs from the Beverley range, whereas Beverleys had smaller versions on the toms.

Before Projectors, Premier sold Beverleys in the US as the 6000-series:
