Hey all- I picked up a gold/black niles badged Slingerland kit today that really needs some help. It would be a real easy restoration, except for one thing.. the re-enforcement rings/bearing edges on the resonant side of the toms are in really rough shape. I hate when people decide to remove the resonant heads and hurt the drums as a result. I do not have any experience with shell reconstruction and was hoping some of the experts here could give me some advice.. Is it even possible to fix separation like this? If so, any advice on how to go about doing so? I was hoping there would be a write up on this already but didn't find anything on the forum.. Sorry the pics aren't great, took them with my phone as soon as I got them home.. Thanks Keep on Pl.
