Hey all, I'm new and have a serious dilemma. I have a 1977 Rogers drumset in mint condition... except for the bearing edges. They're awful! I'm constantly retuning them and then retuning after I just retuned them. It's especially bad on the bass drums. I've considered recutting the bearing edges myself, but I'm VERY SCARED about messing it up and destroying the drum's usability. Call me paranoid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have heard of a company called Pork Pie Percussion who makes their own custom drums and even does bearing edge recuts. The only thing is their prices:
Prices are per drum:
Toms (6”-14”) $35.00
Toms (15”-18”) $45.00
Bass drums and Snare drums $55.00
:eek:
I have 2 bass drums and 2 toms I want redone, but that will cost me a whopping $180. Lame
Should I bite the bullet and do it myself or spend the money and sleep with a clear conscious?
If anyone wants, I can post pictures.
