I'd suggest taking the drums to a good machine shop and having them do a very light knurl of the sheet contact area, just enough to provide a bit of tooth.

Given that they have been used regularly for ~ 17 years for club racing, I am not disappointed nor surprised. Inside they are fine for their age and have been more or less regularly serviced. My question is what is the best/cheapest/etc. way to get them 'roughed' up again. I thought that having them sandblasted with coarse sand could do it or maybe just some rough hand sanding. Any others suggestions or thoughts on this problem would be appreciated. New is not an option!
