Sometimes, a collector gets a drum or a kit that has the original factory drumheads still intact. There's nothing like those old Weathermasters or the "dB" series that Ludwig used to make....literally nothing like them....because they aren't made in the same way anymore.
They can accumulate a lot of grime over the years...you know the stuff...I'm talking about those scuffs that literally get slammed into the surface of a coated batter head.
Well, guess what? You can get them clean with some kitchen/bathroom product called "Soft Scrub with bleach". Just squirt a glob of the stuff onto your old vintage (synthetic) drumhead and take a small washcloth or rag and swirl it around and apply a little bit of pressure. Rinse the heads off under hot water and then towel dry it and then let them air-dry for awhile. It works surprisingly well for white-coated Weathermasters and similar vintage-style heads....and, oftentimes THOSE heads ARE worth saving. It's one of those little details that give a collectible jussst a bit more "ooomph"! -if you know what I mean.Burger Kin
