I bought a 5-piece set of Ludwig Accent Classics on ebay recently. I didn't need the snare drum, but it was included and the price & kit were right. The original owner removed the burgundy satin finish from the snare and left it unfinished. Since then, I wanted to do something cool with it, and was waiting for inspiration to hit me. I pointed out a cool sparkle finish I saw online to my wife. She then remembers these vinyl adhesive films she saw at her office and brought me some of their color samples. She then worked her ninja magic and got the company to send her larger samples of one specific color. This stuff is awesome! My wife came home with it yesterday and tonight, as soon as we put the kids to bed, she tells me "go take your drum apart". We both couldn't wait to see the finished product.

The whole procedure took two hours. Measured it up, cut and applied.

When the kids are awake, I'll tune it up and hear how it sounds. But it looks great, thanks baby!
