Here are the images. Forgot to add to thread.

the bass drum hoop the split is wide enough just use wood glue,place it on the split laying side ways and let the glue run into the split. place the clamps over the split in 6 hours it will be set up but I let it sit for 24 hours. I have precision screw drivers that I shaped to pry wood separation like on your shell and do the samething as you did with the wood hoop.

Thank you. The split was glued and it dried not completely together. It dried open like it's shown in photo. If I add glue I don't think it will close unless I remove existing dried glue. Should I try to scrape it away?

Thanks,

David

Yes, remove as much old glue as possible. Take some 80 grit sand paper and fold it over so you have a two sided piece of sand paper. Pry open the split a little bit if necessary and insert the sand paper into the split. Use the two side paper to sand away the old glue, sanding both sides of the split at the same time. Get it to where the two sides will come back together nice and tight without a lot of force. Then glue and clamp.

You might be better off removing the inlay. Far as I know the Slingerland inlays were not glued in just stapled at the ends. Remove the staples with a small regular screwdriver and carefully remove the inlay. This will let you get right at the damage. Even if it seperates that's ok because you want to remove as much of the old dry glue as you can. Use a good wood glue to repair. Stuff like Gorilla glue is not good as it expands when it dries. Glue like Tightbond or the likes is better. Then clamp tight like the guys said. Far as a new hoop you can just buy a nice used hoop with a 1/2" inlay groove. If you can find one with the marine pearl cool but if not you can order cut inlays from most drum part vendors. I'd suggest the vintage marine pearl as it'll be the closest to the original aged WMP.

Thank you guys for your help. All very good info and suggestions.
