I recently had a slight accident with my 13" 1965 Ludwig tom. It fell off my trolley bringing it out to the car after a gig. It was in a Gator soft bag but the top hoop was slightly damaged (fortunately the shell was ok). I have got out as much as I can but it still looks a little bit askew.

How can I get it round again (it is an original hoop) and if it is slightly out of round does it affect the sound that drastically?

Need help!

cheers,
