Reinforcement ring installation - Compression fit - By Kirsch
Переглядів 3,3 тис.2 роки тому
This video is made for Adam Ullrich at Derby City Drums. Enjoy sir! This is an oldschool technique for installing compression fit reinforcement rings. The goal of this is to create and outward tension on the shell, which supports higher tunings and adds attack at lower tuning. Used by Rogers, Camco, early dw and many other custom builders. This is not the same as just adding extra material at t...

    Makes sense Jeff. I have this same PDP kit in emerald fade and love it. Bought it new in 2008. I would put this kit up against any high end big money kit any day. It tunes up nice and easy but I do notice a slight playability factor where the stick response just doesn’t feel optimal compared to a set I played with a round over edge. I want to cut a slight round over on the outside myself. Do you have an email I can contact?

    I had problems with my full length tama luggs snapping I the centre. So I made gaskets out of automotive gasket paper and that seems to have done job. Been 2 years since. No problems whatsoever even with turning. With the gasket paper it confirms to the lugg and the shell. Cut the paper oversize to the lugg. Hole punch for screws. Fix the lugg to the shell and then I carefully cut around the lugg.

    It also appears that those oval lugs were flat on their base rather than designed with a radiused underside that would sit perfectly flush to shell. That doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.

    It's weird that the PDP Centerstage, a step or two lower of a model shows it as a hybrid birch wood on some sites while others just say Poplar wood.

    In this case the lug fixing holes are too close to the edge of the lug .... Causing a weakness and failure of the ply around the hole.... Once the ply starts to fail it will continue to fail....

    • @portlanddrums

      They're all built this way but show no problems until the gaskets degrade. I drill close to the edge regularly and it's not a problem at all.

    Helps a lot! I have a Keller kit that is locally built and the fabricator always said that gaskets are bad but never explained why... Still, my drums are very hard to tune, but that is another issue...

    • @portlanddrums
      @portlanddrums 2 місяці тому

      That's probably the builders choice of bearing edge. I would guess your edges are cut from inside all the way to the outside. This edge ruins tuning on keller shells.

    This is wild. Jeff, you and I sat next to each other on the bus, going down Foster Rd, way back in like 2002 or 3 or 4 or something. We got to talking, and you told me that you were in to working on drums. You talked about bearing edges specifically. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it looks like you were serious about it. Good to see that you're still passionate about the craft!

    I suspect shipping with the heads on, shipping itself, temp changes, storage all play a part..... Anyway, what about the actual re-edging? At least one drum..... ....so I looked st the few other videos on here, and there's nothing on re-edging drums. So how about that sort of content?

    I'm a bit confused here, because on your page your drums also seem to have gaskets. Are they special gaskets?

    • @drumrboynoid
      @drumrboynoid Рік тому

      The gaskets on his drums are visual effect only. They're just an o-ring that rests around the cercumference of the lug. Just to make people think they have them.

    • @DrMackSplackem

      @@drumrboynoid Also, maybe because removing them could affect tuning ease and look kind of...dumb? I put gaskets on my snare today (built it a fewmm undersized I guess). Routed from cheap vinyl baseboard material. Lug splay doesn't affect tuning (IME) unless you're really cranking up high. It never sounds bad, but it always looks wrong.

      @portlanddrums 2 місяці тому

      @@DrMackSplackem Removing gaskets improves tuning. Particularly tuning range. If your drums only sing at one note, its because the gaskets are choking out the shells responsiveness. Floating the tuning parts on gaskets is something you'll never see on any other instrument. Because it's silly.

      @DrMackSplackem Місяць тому

      @@portlanddrums Yeah, fortunately the drum doesn't suffer from that issue. All I needed was for the rods not to bind at high tunings. I could've instead used some hardwood spacer material to get the splay angle under control, but this ended up working fine.

      It is! Makes for a very stable lock between the shells and eliminates buzz.

    Use a brush next time. Also, no need for glue on both surfaces. More glue doesn't mean better bond...

    • @portlanddrums
      @portlanddrums Рік тому

      Super constructive suggestions from the guy with no content. Brushes create waste and serve no other purpose than to keep my finger clean. But water does that. When compressing one piece inside the other, it takes lubing up both pieces. Just cause there's glue on both pieces doesn't mean there's too much. Very minimal glue to clean.

    nice but the bag looks like a 22inch bag for an 18 kick.If you remove the riser and the legs of the kick ,which have togo into the hardware bag anyway,it could fit into a much smaller 18inch bag.

    • @portlanddrums
      @portlanddrums 2 роки тому

      Yeah, you're right. It does fit in a smaller bag. I made this video with what I had around at the time. This kits owner thought having the extra padding inside was worth the extra few inches of space taken up. Since the kit was being checked on a plane, he knew it would get thrown around.
