I have a bunch of questions about cutting down my drums, not expecting everyone to answer all of them I'd really appreciate the more important info.
I'm thinking of having my 20x17 bass drum cut down to 20x14. Any thoughts on this? I think I've read enough on this forum to know that it will be a good move. I understand this affects the lugs, spurs and the tom mount. FYI it's a 2009 yamaha stage custom if anyone has been through this. Would I lose any volume by going even shallower? How shallow?
I'm also considering cutting my rack toms down for ease of placement and storage/transport. They are 10x8 and 12x9.
Would 10x7 and 12x7 be a bad idea?
Or is it best I leave the 10 and just have the 12 cut down to 12x8?
Also open to any comments on bearing edges, but I know that's something I should read up on.
Thank you.
