Somewhere along the line, I came into possession of 3 or 4 WFL logo washers. They are the size to fit on the end of a bass drum beater. Haven't found another use for them.
Anyone taken apart and reassembled a Ludwig beater? Looks like the bottom washers must stick on something -- a tab or what ever. And it looks like the top of the beater is then just peened... not much to do but grind it off, I think, and then that extra 1/8 to peen is gone.
Any mad scientists give this a try??
