I know a lot of people use fondant to cover the board but I have seen what looks like wrapping paper also. Can I really use wrapping paper to cover a cake drum or would that not be a good idea?

I do not cover cake drums. They are already covered.

Sure. It's a nice way to jazz it up. Just be sure that anything that will be eaten doesn't touch the wrapping paper--the inks often have lead in them.
Put a barrier of another cake board between the cake and the covered board and if the icing border extends beyond the cake board, put a piece of parchment under it and make sure it's hidden by the border.
