Yes, definitely fixable. Push the dent back out from the inside and apply a new patch of
fiberglass. Smooth out the outside. take off all the hardware, clean it and leave it off till the very end.
You can even order new hardware, because it's basically the same, but keep the traditional rim.
I had a similar old LP with a 12" head and only 29" tall.. I took off everything and taped up the metal band.
I then sprayed several coats of car paint, and polished it. That was 11 years ago. I use
a medium/thick mule head on it. It s my drum of choice for gigs where there will only be
room for one conga - it can do the job nicely. I'm still lookong for a matching Tumba.
