Because two-headed toms sound better than concert toms ... in my humble opinion.Cutting new edges is a job I'd leave to a professional.
To each his own... but I think topics like this don't really fit the intention of this forum, in my opinion, except to "Just Say No".
We don't go to the Rogers forum and talk Slingerland do we?

I totally agree....the sub-forum heading is RESTORING vintage drums, not modifying vintage drums.... Mind Blowi
I'm with Latz on this one....the concert toms lugs were closer to the center of the shell compared to a regular double headed tom. Like he said, you might want to re-think this before you ruin a drum. Trading for what you want might be the better option on this one. I do believe that concert toms WILL make a comeback one of these days and then, all of those converted concert toms will have no value in the vintage market. Besides, what's so bad about concert toms anyway? We all used them (or took the bottom heads off our double headed toms) to get that sound, so what's the big deal? I say leave them as is and swap them for what you really want and let them keep their future value intact.One more related point......concert toms=Phil Collins :cool:
Another related point,.....
concert toms = Kieth Moon...totally awsome !!
I already have a couple of Super Mahogany toms that were converted by a previous owner. I wouldn't mind so much if the new concert toms matched the converted toms, but I'm starting to lean against doing this procedure. The finish on the concert toms is in much better shape than the converted toms, so I may just keep them as they are and keep an eye out for some more closed toms. I apologize if this thread is not in the proper forum and appreciate the helpful comments. Cheers.
If you were going to test your skill's on the drum's and you find that it did not work for you. you will be able to find concerts toms cheap if you wanted to go back
This is Simple. Take the heads off of your other toms

I thought the intention of the forum was to help people....
A lot of people make that mistake. We are actually in the biz of preying on the unsuspecting questioner. When a newbie comes a knocking for pricing info on a sweet old vintage kit, we all circle the wagons and give some ridiculously low number. We take turns PMing the sap to "take the worn out kit off their hands". It's a great little money making venture. When you cross over twenty-five hundred posts, you are sent an invite. Prior to that, you have to do the time and watch from the wings, like we all did. Two more cycles and it's my turn again to snag the kit. I can't wait. I'm hoping for a sweet old jazzer. Wish me luck.
