Hey all!
I have a simple question that somebody here, with access to the appropriate items, might be able to answer: What size drill bit fits snugly in the hole of a round badge for a bass drum?
...I bought a kit, but the bass drum was missing the badge. Since restoring the shell, I've wanted to get a replacement badge, but $150 on eBay is ungodly expensive. I bought a snare round badge, thinking that I could simply drill the hole a little larger. Then, I recently acquired another bass drum, complete with badge, so there was no need to drill a larger hole. Well, after removing the badge from THIS drum, it turns out that the badge was actually another snare badge (imposter!!!) So, I don't know what size of a hole a legitimate bass drum round badge has. I figure the most accurate way of measuring the hole would be to figure out which size of drill bit fits snugly, as one man's 9mm might be another man's 10mm...
Thanks in advance for any help!
