    Do black. Drums are nothing to be proud about unless you have a sleeper. So why make a big thing about them and paint them red. Black = keep them hidden.

    Some advise, it's easier and better to paint them. Use a half inch brush, between coats keep it in a bag to stop it from drying out and remember to mask of any areas that risk being touched with the brush. It shouldn't take long and wack the stuff on it dries dead quick.
    
    I'd also paint the drums black.

    A while mate. My step dad owns a mechanics so i put them in the oven to dry! Should take about 24hrs if your just leaving them to dry on their own.
