Re: Bass drum Hoops (reply) I see now. You could probably find some kind of paint that would be close. Even if you just stained it, I think it could be made to blend given the small edge you're trying to cover up. DrJam	Drum Maker's Forum	DrJam 11/17/09 9:49 PM

Re: PVC for a drum? (reply) PVC can get quite expensive in the larger diameters. It might be cheaper to just get new Keller shells, or a few used ones on ebay. Also, drum shells are a bit undersized by about 1/8", so getting heads to fit correctly on a PVC bearing edge might be a ...	Drum Maker's Forum	el matt2003 11/16/09 10:33 AM
Re: Glue for drum wrap (reply) That's a tough one. If you want it permanent and professional then contact cement in the way to go.

Re: PVC for a drum? (reply) It will work if you can find the right size. In the older days of this and one other forum Zacker and I looked at this a lot for making E-Drum shells.

Glue for drum wrap (topic) Hey guys, I'm getting ready to recover an old set. After some research, it looks like the best way to go is glue - for resonance purposes. Is contact cement the ONLY option here? I hate the "once it makes contact" it's STUCK caveat. No room for error. It ...	Drum Maker's Forum	Cosmic 11/05/09 11:24 AM

Double bass drum centering (topic) Hey guys question on using a double bass foot pedal on a 22 inch bass drum. Is there a way to center the pedal so that the beater's sit in the middle. My DW 5000 are off by 1 1/2 inch on the left side. I get that off center feel & sound. If i move the ...	Drum Maker's Forum	Fiberwoody 10/18/09 12:58 AM
