Im restoring an old set of Yamaha's and the floor tom has a textured paint on the interior and bearing edges.
To me it makes sense to have clean smooth bearing edges.
Is it worth it to sand them clean?

Remove textured paint from bearing edges?

In such a case I'd say it would be essential to sand down the textured paint from the bearing edges.
You don't have to go crazy and remove all signs of paint _ unless you really want to do so _ but you do need a smooth and consistent edge.
You are not going to hurt the drum by doing so _ and it shouldn't take you much more than 10 to 15 minutes _ with an assorted variety of grits _ and then seal them with some paste wax _ after you get down to a reasonably smooth edge.

thank you, thats what I thought as well.
I was surprised to see factory texture paint on the edges.
