Do any of these questions sound familiar:

• Should I restore my drum even though it would alter the drum’s originality or should I leave it as is?
• I’m not getting the sound I want from my vintage drum. Should I have the bearing edges recut?
• What are the best materials and techniques to use in restoring my drums?
• Should I try to do the restoration myself or have a professional do it?
• How do I glue down the seam that’s coming up on the wrap finish of my drum?
• There are hairline gaps between the reinforcement hoops and shell of my Radio King snare drum. Should I glue and clamp, use a wood filler, or leave it alone?

I can help you answer these and other questions concerning your next restoration project.

As a restoration technician for 20 years, I have repaired thousands of vintage drums and offer you extensive, expert experience.
