Standard edge profile is 45° with a slight 45° countercut

We can also ACCURATELY level, reprofile and restore bearing edges, as well as PERMANENTLY repair any delamination of plies or reinforcement rings on all vintage drums. Please e-mail for prices.

***NOTE: Due to the nature of the material and extra care and polishing labor required, there is a 20% upcharge for acrylic shell bearing edges and snare beds.

 

Snare Beds

$40.00 per drum. This is a must if edges are recut. Standard snare bed is Wide/Shallow (6" wide x 3/32" deep, similar to Ludwig). This is the profile that offers the best combination of snare sensitivity and tone, and is wide enough to accomodate 42-strand snare units, which are again becoming widely popular. Other profiles available upon request (e.g. Narrow/Deep, Ultra-Shallow/Wide for Extended Snares, etc.)

 

Layout

$2.00/lug. $6.00 for L-arm tom brackets. $10.00 for through-hole tom brackets. $20.00 for BD brackets or rail consolettes. $10.00/side for spurs.

 

Hole Drilling

$2.00/hole up to 1/2". $4.00/hole for larger holes up to 2". Large vent holes are $20.00ea.

***NOTE: Due to the nature of the material and extra care and labor required, there is a 10% upcharge for acrylic shell drilling.

Please take note that all holes are accurately bored using only the Irwin® UniBit ™ system. No twist-type drill bits are employed.

 

Assembly

BASS DRUMS- 18" & 20": $125.00 22"-26": $175.00 SNARE DRUMS (all): $150.00 TOMS: $75.00 FLOOR TOMS: $100.00


***NOTE: All reworked drums have their hardware cleaned up, all lug inserts and tension rod threads cleaned and lube, lug repacked as necessary, and all mounting screws treated with LocTite ThreadLocker to prevent loosening.


***All shells sent in for repair must be COMPLETELY stripped of heads and all removable hardware, or there will be a charge for Disassembly/Assembly. We will not perform woodwork with hardware attached because it is difficult to properly manipulate the shell and also due to the invasive nature of wood dust.***

***NOTE: These prices may vary slightly due to the complexity of certain hardware, mounts, strainers, etc., and are meant as a general guideline ONLY. Acrylic shells are 10% higher due to the extra care required during handling and final polishing necessary.


Vintage Drum Add-ons and Repros

Have a vintage drum kit and missing that one hard-to-find drum? How about an entire repro kit? We can't go back in time and get it for you, but we can hunt down the hardware, and using new finish wraps and Keller Vintage Maple, Vintage Mahogany or 6-ply Maple shells, we can fabricate the add-on drums for your favorite *Ludwig, *Slingerland, *Gretsch or *Rogers kit! E-mail for details.



For any other work you require, such as rewraps, restoration, hole filling, single-double head conversions, etc., please e-mail for a price quote. Provide as many details as possible. The more details you provide, the more accurate the quote with no hidden surprises later (and we ALL hate hidden surprises!).
