Jeff,No, the 10x14 is just a FG double-headed tom; so no snare beds at all. And to be honest, this is actually new territory for me as on all of my previous marching drum 'cut-downs' I've cut down from to top, purposely re-using the original snare beds. Plus, this one of course is fiberglass... so I'll cross that bridge when I get there, probably this weekend.The one thing that concerned me most on this drum was the position of the breather hole. Had it been right in the center (top to bottom) of the shell it may have posed a problem with bearing edges, but its location ended up being almost perfect since I'm making a 5x14 and a 4x14 out of this shell.As for the Rock Hard, I've not had any trouble with it falling out on wood shells. So even though this is also new territory for me, one thing I discovered when filling in these old holes in the fiberglass -- none of the holes I filled were 'clean' holes. What I mean by that is that all of the holes actually had fiberglass 'fibers' (still attached to the shells) inside the holes. I had noticed that when working with these shells before but usually just reused the same holes so I didn't thing anything about it. But, these fibers should actually help to hold the Rock Hard in place, if it don't 'stick' as well to the fiberglass. I hope all of that made sense... it did to me!Bill
Oh you always make sense. With the hole being rough as they are yo will have no trouble. I was picturing the holes clean with slightly rounded edges. As for the snare bed,, me too, I will cross the same bridge with you.
