I read (possibly on this very forum) about a Rogers holiday kit that went into a studio for a recording session, the kit was a little "hacked up" and the Sound engineer was having problems getting a balanced tone between the toms, so they took them in to get the edges re-cut and that drastically improved the sound, my questions being;
1. when is this the right thing to do? (especially considering the "origionality" of a set, from a collectors standpoint, Vs. a set of player's drums that are literally " a little rough around the edges"?
2. what type of facility is required for this procedure? (who do I need to get in touch with?)
3. what is my financial damage going to look like?
I have aquired a few items that have been abused over the years (nothing to do with me) and could possibly use this kind of "TLC"
(and LASTLY a completely un-related question; would anyone here be interested if I post some of the vintage restoration projects I've been working on?...I have a HUGE, and Crazy story about a Rogers kit that I'm really itching to share, because it was such an INCREDIBLE and un-expected SCORE!!!..actually, come to think of it, theres another un-related story that isn't exaclty a happy ending, involving a vintage kit in a dumpster that would probably spark a great outcry amongst the vintage drum community.) Yes Sir
Thanks as always!
