Sparkles, Glitters & other things that are shiny

I've been doing some research recently on drum finishes. Today there are a myriad of finishes that can be applied to the drumset. There is the satin oil finish, the high-gloss lacquer finish and the wrapped finish. These days, it seems that having just a standard finish is not enough...I continue to see more and more finishes that are becoming custom. Things like inlay stripes, custom paint jobs (like bursts, fades, flames etc.), even custom printed drum wraps are becoming very popular in an effort for drummers to create a unique look for themselves.

As I've been thinking about what drum finishes to offer for Roberts Drums, I've felt torn. I want to offer our customers the ability to customize their vintage-style drums as much as possible while trying to stay true to the integrity of what vintage drums are all about. Pure class. Uunderstated elegance.

My feeling is that even though these custom finishes are cool and "in vogue" for the time being, they will soon just be the flavor of the month...and the drumming community will move on to the next "new and improved" finish option. So I've decided to stick with some classic finishes that have stood the text of time for the last 40-50 years and have never gone out of style. Please check out the image below for the list of over 35 sparkle, pearl, glitter and onyx drum wraps that will be available on all Roberts Drums.

Again, thanks for checking out Roberts Drums. We hope you'll take the time to visit http://www.robertsdrums.com/ to see more of what we are all about.
