Hi everyone.
Im working on an old ludwig kit.. Im kinda a newbie on this.. but the bass drum was painted black.. horrible job, so I've been working on sanding it off.. the shell itself turned out good.. but then I realised that the idiot that refinished it had covered both bearing edges with that black goo that he refinished the drum with..
someone once told me that it aint good to paint the bearing edges so I started sanding the paint on the edges. I started on the reso side. I was really careful and it went fine.. then time for the batter side.. the paint was harder to get off here and I became more aggressive.. I still thought I was pretty careful but now Im a bit afraid that I went to far..
the inner angle on the reinforcement ring looks good, but on the rounder part on the outer plies (you guys know what Im talking about, right?) doesnt look as good.. it seems sharper at some points and rounder at some points.. not much. but a little.. enough to drive me crazy..
question is.. have I damaged my drum? would it still sound good? should I be worried?
