I love the concept of round bearing edges trimming off unwanted overtones and generating more of a woody sound! From the little i know... vintage 50s & 60s drums with reinforcement rings have a combined edge thickness (shell + ring) of 0.3 - 0.5 inches. This thickness allows for a large rounded edge radius and therefore more head to shell contact. Consider a modern ply shell without re-rings that is not extra thin, but medium-thin to med-thick 0.2 - 0.3 inches (5.0 - 7.6 mm)... Knowing the rounded edge radius will be smaller with slightly reduced head to shell contact than drums with re-rings... will these smaller rounded bearing edges still control the overtones & warm up the sound without reinforcement rings? Does a snare drum with rounded edges truly lack any of the positive qualities associated with angled edge snare drums?
Excellent, sounds amazing, why do this to me when I just got my Crav from you guys w/ regular 45 deg. rim?? Actually, I'm as happy as you can be w/ my oak drum, ecstatic. Meanwhile, can Willy do a 'baseball bat' rim on another drum that i have? Thanks, GREG B

man that sounds amazing !!!!!!!! i hope to play one of those one day!!!!!!!!!
doesn't sound dry at all to me. But it does sound good. i'd like a 10" snare with baseball bat edges.
Hey Jess! You are the man! :-)

Still has some ring...nice. Plenty of volume...like a bell.
