Bearing Edges

Perhaps you've heard an old timer refer to a bearing edge as a sound edge. Next to drum head selection, nothing affects a drum's sound more than the shell's bearing edge. It's shape has a far greater tonal impact than shell material.

For a variety of reasons, factory bearing edges, especially in the 1960s and 70s, were / are hit or miss. Combine this with decades of rock'n'roll, and who knows what all in terms of care, and this makes for a drum that's difficult to tune and going out of tune easily.

Wraps / Re-wraps

Time and gigging takes a toll on wraps: uneven fading and / or darkening, cracking, bubbling and tearing at lugs due to pressure and tension, self absorbed guitar players knocking over stands and gouging our beautiful sparkle.

Perhaps you've a great sounding kit that is... white... or black... and want to spice things up.

Repair

The bass drum: the most abused of all shells. So common that we've all likely passed on a kit that looked like the above picture. If you've a drum that was too cool to pass up, but needs a little love to return to it's full glory, let us help.

Miscellaneous

We do like to go above and beyond and pride ourselves on attention to detail: removal of Ludwig pixie dust (formerly inadequate foam) and installation of felt, Gretsch "stop sign" badge just didn't look right with a new, shiny grommet so we aged it.
