I used a flaxseed oil and a finest steelwool, and did it by this manual: www.stdrums.de/tips/satinoil/satinoil.htm

HH.drummer this is exactly what I was looking for. Planning to de-wrap and finish my own drums. Why did you apply oil to the inside of the shell?

@@devnagel2235 It doesnt affect a sound, but a flaxseed oil preserves wood against the loss of its own moisture and at the same time prevents moisture from entering the wood from outside. So in the final, the drumshell doesnt change its shape and does not degrade after a long time.

@@Paulie.drummer Final question- why did you choose flaxseed oil over a water-based polyurethane? That's another method I've seen mentioned and was wondering if you considered it.

@@devnagel2235 I didnt use a PU laquer, because I dont have a dustfree room. I wanted to try some traditional way of finishing, and it is easier to repair some scratches on oil finish than on PU lacquer.

yes, Japanese drums are of high quality, but I do not plan to change my drums right now.

Who knows. There are a few experiences with "B" quality sold for eastern europe (not only music instruments), but no one manufacturer will tell you that. So the Tama neednt be a guarantee for me.

Yeah, shit happens sometimes, but i think it was the only defective drumset. I bought it in a store. Set was packed in original unopened boxes, so i thought it will be OK and im not checked it in store, but at home. Problem was solved by Gretsch and my seller. The new set is perfect.

@@Paulie.drummer it’s good to know they took care of the situation. Good on them.

I have no experience with this snare. I'm using my own DIY SD.

It was approx. week. Communication was also OK.

yeah, they change it to new set.
