Hey i have an old 1989 pearl export, and im doing a major restoration on this baby. Now what the main problem i have is, im wanting to cut say 2-3 inches off the rack tom and floor tom, obviously not my self - does anyone know of any retailers that would do this? im australian so i dont really need a company just a type would be nice.Im also going to be filling my the holes and re drilling them, only on one side tho. Using wood filler on these holes would in change the qaulity of the drum dramaticly? Cheers
There is a great short video on youtube (search "drum roll") ([ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHRvQweyeCE[/ame]) about cutting drum shells. He made a very simple jig with rollers for his table saw and cuts a kick drum shell down on the video. I duplicated the jig and have had great success.. If you already have a table saw and a good blade its not that hard to do...
