I've used Goo Gone for this application. Have to let it sit for a bit and keep working it. Try not to let the stuff that is coming off scratch the head as your scrubbing or wiping it. A little time consuming but worth it.

Mineral spirits works great on a smooth DB head. Been there, done that.

Fingernail polish remover will get that also.

Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate the information as well as your time!

It will go slow and the adhesive residue tends to spread out as you are cleaning it, so try to keep everything in the same proximity. Also, the nail polish remover will remove the printing on the head, and will probably take aim at the large, black outer stripe as well, so use caution.

Nail polish remover containers acetone which will have an effect on the smooth Mylar plastic. It will be permanently cloudy once the acetone is applied and wiped off.

I second the Goo Gone advice ...and agree to keep working it

it is perfect for tape residue and other similar stickum

on either the drum heads in your case or the drum wraps as well

do not confuse the gentle citrus based Goo Gone with the acetone based Goof Off

The Goof off melted the wrap on a mij snare drum once

personally I use my thumbnail with the area liberally moistened with the GG

once you get a good amount of the stickum starting to clump up, clear it away and re-apply to finish up

Thanks for all of the input! The Goo-Gone did the job. Attached are the before and after pics.
