Once it is clipped or tucked into the hole, you simply wrap the sandpaper around the drum, making sure to not leave any gaps between the sandpaper. The other end should clip in exactly like the first end that you started with.   What sandpaper do you use on a drum sander?  Drum sanders are typically used when sanding wood, however can sometimes be used to sand aluminum or stainless steel surfaces.
