Cutting down drums?

I had a wood worker friend cut down a 16x16 shell for me. Then he set up a jig to cut the lug mounting holes and copied the bearing edge from the other side by matching the router bit. Cost me a 6 pack of good stuff and I help him with his computer.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to possibly get my 20x24" kick cut down to a 16x24? I'm still not 100% sure I'm going to do it but I'd like to get an idea of how much it's gonna cost me.

 

www.precisiondrum.com, I have no experience with this company but they have lots of good reviews and they can do everything that you need them to do, i.e. bearing edges, lug holes, and shell cutting and their price dont seem that high if they do a good job.

Gary at Precision Drum is the Man. He will work with you and he is completely trustworthy. His work is totally trustworthy, if you wanted your drum to be 15.99 x 24 he would make it that.... exactly.

of course this was on an old unknown brand drum that I didn't care if it was perfect or not

Well I know that 16x24" kick play and sound great. I've never owned a 20x24....I actually don't even have it yet...its coming with a kit I ordered and I'm just planning ahead in case its sluggish feeling
