Restoration Consultations

• Is it best not to restore my drum if it alters its originality?
• Will my drum sound better if I recut its bearing edges? 
• What are the best materials and techniques to use for restoration work?
• Should I try to restore my drum or let a professional do it?
• Is there a limit to how much wood filler to use to repair a drum?

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

As a restoration technician for more than 35 years, I have repaired thousands of vintage drums and offer you extensive, expert experience. Check a sample of articles that I have written about vintage drum restoration. These articles have also appeared in the “Collectors’ Corner” column of Modern Drummer magazine.

The fee for a telephone consultation is $60 for the first 30 minutes. The cost of one consultation is small compared to the possible loss of your time and money due to mistakes and miscalculations. Getting the right advice is a smart investment. Your drums are worth it. To schedule an appointment please call 800-729-3111 or email.

All the best,
