[COLOR="DarkRed"]It was a 16x18 Floor Tom. But a 16x18 bass drum is kinda stoopid, I mean, IMHO, that added depth buys you nada other than making it difficult to transport, y'know ?

So....I would have preferred to cut down to 14" depth, but.....that landed square in the middle of 3 tom leg mount holes...so I would have had to fill those holes right at the bearing edge. Um...no way.

So 12" it became.

I just used a table-saw, nice sharp blade.....rotated it around slowly keeping pressure down on the shell so the saw wouldn't lift it.

If you don't have access to one...find a local cabinetmaker and work out a price. It only took about 10 seconds....[/COLOR]
