Sanding the Cherry Wine Superstar shells...oh the agony.
I finally got back to working on the Cherry Wine Superstar shells this weekend. These will be the donor shells for my Piano White project kit. Sanding down the forty year old lacquer is excruciatingly time consuming to say the least. The 16″ floor tom alone took close to an hour and a half! So far I’ve managed to prep the 10″, 12″, 13″ and 16″ shells. The remaining 18″ floor tom and 22″ kick shells will easily take two hours or more a piece. Now I remember why I need to take several, extended, weeks at a time breaks from working on these!

And in case you are thinking about trying this yourself...plan on doing what I am doing in the video below...for many...many...many hours.
Whew...makes me sweat just thinking about it!
Thanks for taking a look!
