Salsero bro..... you are almost finish, remember to drill to the left or right of the old holes and the metal band in the interior. What am I saying you have the drawings. I want to point something out, black paint is different in enamel , compared to lacquer .... lacquer is darker. That baby is going to look aw....some.
Thanks for the props.

Hello Steven !

It look great !!!

Theses babys will make music during a looooot of years again !!!

I've got so much question !!! : was the resin difficult to apply ? How much time of work for this result ?
I'm curious about the futur sound of the drum with this material.

All the best for the end of your project,
Gaël.

Hi

to try to answer your question, you can go to a music store and just measure where the plate goes in order to drill the holes. You should have taken measurements before...

Akdom, Salsero has all of the info to finish the drums, I basically told him to re- drill the holes about 1" 1/2 to 2" inches to the left , so he would be drilling on an undamaged area.

did you take off the chrome band in the middle or epoxy and prime over it?
