Will it hamper the resonance of the drum shells? Who cares! - they will look sweet and it will give you something to talk about with the ladies.

Step 1: Stuff You'll Need

scissors
drum key
philips head screwdriver
tape measure
drums
furry fabric (any type of fabric will do). You can find tons of fabric options at your local craft store.

Step 2: Measuring & Cutting

Take all hardware off of the drum. Measure the circumference and depth of the drum. Add 2" to the circumference measurement so the fabric will overlap itself when wrapped around drum.

Cut the fabric accordingly.

Step 3: Wrap the Fur Around the Drum Shell, Make Holes in Fabric

Start the fabric at one set of drum lugs. while holding the fur in place, pierce holes through the fur into the existing lug screw holes of the drum.

Screw the first lug back on the drum to hold the fur in place. Repeat process for all lugs until you get all the way around.

Step 4: Complete the Wrap

After replacing all the lugs around the drum to get back where you started, unscrew the original 2 lugs from the drum.

Overlap the fabric and re-attach the lugs so they now hold both ends of the fur in place.

Step 5: Trim the Furry Edges

now that the drum has been wrapped and the lugs have been secured back in place, you must trim the outside edges of the fur to accomodate the drumheads and rims to fit.

Simply measure about .5" and trim around both ends of the drum. This will be enough to put the heads and rims back on without wrinkling the fur.

Step 6: Replace the Drumheads and Rims

With the fur trimmed nicely, put the drumheads and rims back. Repeat this instructable on the other drums in the set to complete the job.

The completed work of drums is something to behold, especially under stage lighting.
