Drum Bearing Edge Cutting - Best Bearing Edges - Precision Drum Company, Inc.

Bearing Edges
The key to great sounding drums!

We have re-cut bearing edges on just about every major brand of drums, with great results! Most drum companies don’t take the necessary time to cut bearing edges well. Not only is the bearing edge design/contour important, but also the quality with which the edges are cut and polished.
Precision Drum has been recognized for many years as being an industry leader in providing top quality bearing edges. We have re-cut bearing edges on hundreds of drums, of just about every major brand, and many small custom brands as well. The results have been outstanding!

Where the rubber meets the road - well actually, where the drum head meets the drum shell.

Bearing edges are the contours (angle or round) cut at the edges of the drum shell. The bearing edge is where the drum head "bears", or makes contact with the drum shell. The style and quality of the bearing edge has a great effect on the sound of the drum.

We can accommodate just about any bearing edge request.

I just had to write and tell you how happy I am with the job you did on my drums... you guys do great bearing edges! Thank you for being such a great company to work with.

I don't think many drummers realize just how important a true, crisp, edge is to the quality of a drums sound. I didn't realize it until I took the chance and spent the truly minimal amount to have Precision Drum re-cut the edges on my Yamaha Recording Custom tom shells. I was ready to sell these drums and get a new kit. But the craftsmen at Precision cut new life into my beloved RC's and I have three more shells shipping out today to get the treatment.
Thanks again.

Drums received Gary.
They sound phenomenal.
Thanks for the nice work, great service and superior packing.
Best money I've ever spent on any musical equipment, ever!

Thanks guys.
The bass drum immediately was amazing! Just the greatest tone I’ve ever heard....SINGS
The 8x14 snare lost all the annoying high tones and out of control ring AND its super sensitive at soft dynamics now.
The tone is fuller, more lows, less out of control highs, fatter.
I dont have to turn as much on the tuning rods to change the pitch...its more sensitive to tuning
They still have a nice ring but its a more SINGING tone versus SHOUTING before.....
Thanks so much.

Hello, Gary.
I thought I should send a note about my experience with Precision Drum Company.
I purchased an early 70s Ludwig kit, 9x13, 16x16, & 14x22, 3 ply with reinforcement rings.
I was having trouble with tuning because the edges were not level on any of the drums, and tuning was impossible.
I like a very resonant sound, low with a lot of boom. That 70s ' Thing!
I wrote to Precision Drum Company asking about cutting the bearing edges.
I received a courteous reply. I was told that the prices on the web site were up to date, and that the work could be done quickly.
I live under 100 miles from the Precision Drum Company so I dropped off the drums myself.
I met a very busy, yet friendly, staff. They took the time to show me what needed to be done, why and how.
The work was done on schedule. I thanked them and took the drums home.
I found the work to be very well done, and the drums now tune-up easily.
The 9x13 tuned easily, and it sounds great.
The 16x16 really resonates so much more than anything that I've ever had before, this side of a Vista-Lite .
And the 14x22 sounds so very big, much bigger than just a 22".
I could not be more thrilled with the work done on these drums.
I am impressed with the staff and the quality of the service that I received at Precision Drum Company.
Whenever I need work done on my drums I will return to the professionals at Precision Drum Company.
