Painting Remo Drums

- We use Remo 16” frame drums in our drumming circles. We chose to decorate them to create an individual perspective when players make their choice.
Using acrylic paints I have created these three drums. Patience and knowing when to stop is key to the finished piece. I hope you enjoy my video. Thank you for watching 🦋
Beautifully made. Thank you for taking the time out to post this video 😊❤.
Hi. Now I understand your comment about my mother drum. Yes more of my stencilled drums 🪘
They look lovely Julie.
Thank you 💜🙏
How long does the paint last? Does it ever chip due to constant vibration and drumming?
Hello, I've had my drum painted for 2 years now. It's a black drum with a white dragon fly, other colours too. It is holding out really well, Still looks great, I would say some of the white is showing in other places where it has rubbed off onto the beater head and then transferred a little. But they all still look great.
Thank you for looking.

Hi Julie, beautiful! Were you using a sponge or very thick brush please? And did you roughen up the surface of the drum skin first? Thank you.
Hello Linda.
I painted directly onto the surface of the drums. Just a wipe over but I did not roughen the surface.
The brushes are quite ‘fat’ and firm with a flat edge. I’ll link below the type used.
I dip them in water but then dry them on kitchen paper. If too wet the paint will run. I dab the brush into the paint then dab the loaded brush a few times onto a pallet or paper so there is only very little paint left, then dab onto the drum.
I like to do a few drums at the same time and use a colour for all of them. By the time you go back to painted are it will be almost dry.
With the black surface I go around the edges with a black permanent marker pen or if I have any splodges. It is easier to disguise mistakes. The white ones are not so forgiving but the paint does seem to absorb better on the surface.
I definitely leave it a few days before drumming on the surface. The designs do seem to last well though.
Hope that’s helped.

Hello Julie!
How long did you wait in between painting the white base & colors?
Hello. I use acrylic paints neat, the brushes are damp. A quick dip in water then take out most of the moisture with kitchen paper.
I usually do a few drums at a time and work between all of them, going back with different colours. The paint does dry pretty quickly and with the colours it blends them well if they’re still a little moist.
For the white base I’d give 20 mins before putting colour over the top. Often the white can ‘bleed’ behind the stencil but you can use a black sharpe or black paint on a brush to cover it once it’s completely dry.
I’d love to see what you paint on your drum.

@@healingpossibilities44 Awesome. Thank you, Julie. I really appreciate it :) I am thinking of painting a howling wolf as it's an animal I've always felt most spiritually connected with.
