If you want to change something — in other words, modify it — you need to make a modification. Lots of things require modification, because they get older or just because they can be improved. A car needs modification — in the form of snow tires — to be ready for the winter. Computer programs need modification all the time, because of new products or viruses. When you think of the word modification, think "change."

If nothing was "changed" then you're good. The era correct part to replace a damaged or missing part is not changing the drum, if you were to add a modern, different era or a different companies part to the drum then you have changed it and that would be a modification.
For example, my Rogers kit was missing the swivel-omatic double tom arm, so I bought one from the same era to go with the kit. For all I know or anyone else, that tom arm could had been the same one the kit left the factory with since it's period correct.
There, problem solved, thank you, I'll be here all week.

Unless you drill holes, it's not a mod.

I suppose that, if you had an original Gladstone snare drum, but the hardware was in bad shape....then if you bought some of the Lang reissue stuff and put that on the Gladstone, it would be considered a modification.....hmmmmm...not sure.... There are probably a few other exceptions to the rule, but, in most cases, I don't think it would be considered a "modification" as much as it would be considered as a restoration -as long as the parts are legit, etc.

for a collector's degree can be important to know if only one screw has been changed in 80 years but only if someone can certify it, in the absence of certificate can only guess how the standard history of an players instrument goes over the years, more or less all the same way ... if you know that a part has been replaced you should say it (non-invasive mod)
