Drum Head Maintenance
Drum heads are made of plastic and can be cleaned with standard household (non-abrasive) spray cleaners and a rag. Cleaning the heads will remove dirt and foreign matter from the playing surface. The bottom head is much thinner than the top. Be careful when placing the drum onto the stand to avoid puncturing the bottom head.

Tuning Rod Maintenance 
The “tuning rods” should be lubricated about every 2 months. We recommend “tuning slide grease” (used by trumpet players) for this purpose.

Drum Finish Maintenance
The outer surface of most snare drums today is chrome. This should be wiped off with a chemically-treated polishing cloth to remove hand acid and foreign matter.
