Hey Kevin.What i have done in the pass to fix or repair heads like that,is to get a piece from another head cut it like 1/2 over sized of the hole size and glue that piece to the top of the head with white glue with the head still on the drum,it seems to work for me if the head is to far gone then you would have to replace the head on the drum,but your drum does not look that bad.. i would try to repair it first..Mikey

Thanks Mikey !!!

I might try that...

I was hoping for some help on the yellowing of the heads, too.

Got any more tricks up your sleeve?

Thanks man !!

Well,On the yellowing to the heads that could be from age or smoke.I have had luck with JOY soap[or other names like that] and a cloth but don't get the head to wet,you will looseing the head from the rim and you will have to re tuck the head....Mikey

Kevin, have you tried Woolite??, dilute it first. so buddy i see the Atlanta trip came to good fruition!!!Clapping Happy2, man we've been busy little beavers haven't we!!!!Laughing H

Thanks Mike and VM....

Should I leave the head mounted on the drum while cleaning ?

I'm really clueless here.....

Thanks

I think saddle soap would work well. Nice score, I bet they sound deeeeeeep!

Thanks Lucky !!

OK, so I'm making my shopping list !!

After much thought(not really) I think saddle soap is the way to go. I use to have a pair of Frye boots in that natural leather look, remember the seventies, and I would regularly clean them with saddle soap, broght them right back to the original color. Use a little water with a rag and get a good paste going and then apply it like you are waxing a car, you will be surprised.
