Members Andy315 Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rayboomboom Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 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.

Members manoeuver Posted June 16, 2009 Members Share Posted June 16, 2009 find a local guy. look on ghostnote. check their other work first (esp. bearing edges.) this kind of job shouldn't take too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darten Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JimmyNZ Posted June 18, 2009 Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 What happens if you don't like it mate? Why don't you look for a drum that size? I'd hate to do that to a drum and regret it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Andy315 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
