If your not bothered by the hole then leave it untouched. That way if you sell it the new owner can deal with it in a manner that they prefer.
Irrational restorations
Wow. It's now quite heavy! Sounds great too. Here's a rough pic Mike:
The hoops really make a difference - I did the same with my really scabby, badly pitted 1971 Supra 400 which I had sand blasted & powder coated, then finished off with multiple coats of black pearlescent Audi car paint. The result is rather special - it sounds great and looks perfect with my restored Gretsch Progressive Jazz Black Nitron bass & tom toms ....
.... and as a bonus .... It's a beauty and it's black!

Awesome!
Apart from the appearance, what do you feel is the main difference in the drum? Can you describe the sound difference between flanged and die cast hoops on the 400?
Not really - it always sounded great to me!: the improvement is simply cosmetic .....
