Matt Sinyard in Conyers, GA. His website is www.bonzodrums.com. I would put his work up against anyone out there. Check out the pics of some of his work. The 1974 green sparkle Ludwig Bonham kit was one he built for me, which I later sold. The bass drum had a center post mount which he plugged flawlessly to create what I called a "born again virgin" shell. He can do paintwork, wraps, he has a jig to cut bearing edges etc. And he's a good guy to boot!!

[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Best ?"

Dunno who can answer that one...

Not to toot my own horn, but I do edge leveling, re-edging, patching, rewraps and the like. In SF, CA. Been doing it for almost 9 years.....here's Gretsch job below, green glitter.

I don't do replating or relacquering or that sorta thing, however. Nor wood finishes.

www.2ndending.com ...or e-mail me and I can send slews of pics...have done about 70 projects to date....

Precision is very good...
