Timpani Rebuild: How to Remove Timpani Bowl Dents, Ep. 4 - DK Percussion

[@anotherdrummer2]

Any advice for removing a flat spot on a bearing edge insert? I have a 29" fiber Ludwig and the bearing edge insert hss a flat spot like it was run into a wall. Maybe about 5 inches along the circumference. Top of bearing edge is level with the rest of rhe drum.

If you want to email me some pictures, my contact info is on my website. (Or find me on IG/FB.) I don't do a lot of work with Ludwig instruments, but if it's something I could give you advice on, I'd be happy to. I can also direct you towards the Ludwig guru... @BonoPercussion.

I haven't decided exactly what I'm doing with the copper bowls for this project yet, but I do have this very old link: www.dkpercussion.com/repair/projects/Bowls/ Honestly, I'd rather pay a professional metal finisher to do the work since they can do it better and more efficiently than me! But I'm also considering letting the bowls tarnish after removing the lacquer. Things to think on... of course, any of this work will make it here to the channel (and I shouldn't miss this opportunity to encourage anybody interested in seeing that future work to subscribe!) I promise that sometime soon in the series I'll talk about some future plans with the bowls.
