Here at Sic•Skinz, we strive to create dynamic drum wraps to allow you to stand out from the masses of drummers out there. All of our wraps are created from high resolution, printed graphics which are then laminated with a .5mm high-heat, high-pressure overlaminate to lock in the imagery and to give your wrap a long-lasting endurance. Due to this procedure, the result is a resilient and flexible wrap that, in most cases, can go directly on top of your existing finish. Our wraps do not require any glue, they come with included high-bond, double-stick tape thet DOES NOT stick to your drum's shells, but rather, one end of the wrap sticks to the other end of the wrap with a 2" overlap to lock down the seam.
And the great thing is... THEY WILL WORK ON ANY MANUFACTURER'S DRUMS!
And they install in just three easy steps... (it's so easy a drummer can do it... hah!)
We also provide easy-to-install drumhead decals made of automobile-grade vinyl...
These decals can be totally custom, or made from any of our existing designs...
Watch the videos below to learn how to effectively remove your hardware,
as well as how to install your new Sic•Skinz Custom Drum Wraps!
Okay... so now, how do I remove those cheaper and more stubborn-type airvents?
If you have a stamp-in airvent grommet like the one pictured here, it can be removed using a standard screw-driver and a hammer or mallet.
Looking closer at the grommet, you can see that it is raised above the surface of the inside of the shell (in most cases). Which gives us room to work.
Place your standard (or flathead) screwdriver perpendicular to the inside of the shell against the top lip of the grommet.
Using your hammer or mallet, gently tap down the top of the grommet. A slight indentation where the screw-driver blade was placed might result.
No worries! It will get covered!
Now, flip the shell (or use the blade of the screw-driver like a key and rotate the grommet) and tap down the opposite side of the grommet
Rotate the grommet 45 degrees to access the next section to be tapped, and tap it in.
Now, rotate the grommet 180 degrees to tap down the final side to create an "X" shape. If there is any portion of the edge still hanging over the wood of the shell tap them down to prevent damage to the shell in the next step.
Now, using the screwdriver like a hole-punch, gently push against the airvent grommet from the inside of the shell, pushing out. If it does not push easily, tap down any other small overhangs, or if there are none, gently tap the screwdriver with your hammer.
Bingo! Now you are done. If you are overly anal, you can lightly sand down the ragged wood left from the manufacturerers drilling for the hole, but when you replace the airvent with one of our heavy-duty, professional, threaded vents, you will never see it.
Notes:
*These directions are provided merely to assist you in removing the airvent grommet. Sic•Skinz cannot be held responsible for any damage
caused to your shell or its finish if any does occur. We're just trying to be helpful. Other tools may be used, but this system works best for us.
**All of our shipped orders include clear and concise, easy to understand directions on how to properly use our wraps to minimize any chance of error.
