I've been gathering some info on how to remove a dent from a Slingerland Krupa Sound King, COB.
But I want to make sure before I start banging around with rubber hammers and such that it really is a dent and not the way the shell was meant to be, for snare bed or something.
When I took the Zoomatic strainer off the shell, I noticed this pronounced dent right behind/underneath where the throw was. (see pics)
My first thought was it from overtightening of the snares, and found info on the web to support this.
But I spoke to Jim Petty at jp2creations yesterday (super nice guy, full of knowledge!) who told me that was not due to overtightening but because of the snare being dropped and due to physics and the way the weight is distributed, snares typically land on the strainer, resulting in a dent. I'm sure this is will result in some debate.
In any event, what I would really like to know is if it's really a dent and not the way the shell is supposed to be.
Danke!
