Something else that makes this job easier is to place the shell on a 'Lazy Susan' (rotating table). Now you can turn the shell without having to move your body around it. If you can motorize the rotating table, so much the better. Variable speed, even better! Also, I would go with a paint sprayer. Much more control over the paint flow. Even an airless would suffice.

Right. In the Guerrilla Drum Making DVD, all drums being sprayed are on a lazy susan. But it's even better than a lazy susan because it's something all drummers already have. Regarding the paint sprayer, the use of Aerosol cans opens this finish option up to many more potential drum makers. This way the person doesnt need spray equipment and to invest in it.
