The more I restore, the more questions I have. On my 1958 set, the three plies on the toms are straight across. Is this normal? I was under the impression the three plies were sort of angled downward toward the center of the drum.
I have also found the inner ply of poplar to be extremely rough to the touch. On my set the inner ply even shows the cut marks made by the saw that created the poplar ply. Is this normal?
