A drum set with a bass drum, snare drum, toms, and cymbals, surrounded by multiple microphones and stands on a stage with wooden paneling and a rug underneath.

Brand new Tama SLP came in for a set up for @guyanthonydrums Out of the box this is a really good snare, decent edges and ok snare beds. Like anything if you want more out of your instrument having the bearing edges and snare beds adjusted can make a world of difference in tuning, head life and playability. The edges were levelled and the peak was rounded in a bit further in order to hit the sweet spot. The snare beds were recut to allow for a more versatile snare system which won’t choke out your drum. New or old, drums benefit from a proper set up! #tamadrums #drums #bearingedges #studiodrums

Ludwig Classic Maples came in for new edges for @_kmd3 These new Ludwig’s are built WAY better than the drums that inspired them. Like anything these factory edges will only cause you frustrations and the potential thought of “maybe I should sell this kit”. All your problems can be solved by simply having your edges profiled properly. Bearing edges matter more than any head choice or shell type. Probably the nicest wrap I’ve seen on a Ludwig too! #drums #ludwigdrums #bearingedgesmatter #dontlistentoBIGDRUM

Yamaha Recording Customs headed back to Montreal for @samlambrt These are mordern RC shells and there is not much I could pick apart on these. The peak of the edge was pretty close to being in the right spot. The profile was just a bit to shallow which led to a limited tuning range. After a quick level and a properly profile round over these drums will be easier to tune and offer more tuning range so you can achieve optimal tones! Thanks for sending your drum Samuel! #drums #yamahadrums #recordingcustoms #bearingedgesmatter #studiodrums

Ludwig “blackrolite” came in for a new Ludwig P88 throw off and butt plate for @_kmd3 These are great upgrades on these snares because it gives you a reliable snare system. One thing you have to do is drill out the stock mounting holes to allow the new bolts to fit through the shell along with drilling and taping new holes on the butt plate. #drums #ludwigdrums #ludwigp88 #upgrades

George Ways came in for new edges for @_kmd3 Probably one of the more controversial kits to pull through the shop. I got a lot of messages as to why I’d cut edges on a kit like this. The reason is a simple, to offer a wider tuning range. While these drums are basically flawless, like most drums the edges just cause issues when putting new heads on or trying to change tunings. In lower tunings these also felt very dull and flappy. Now with newly profiled edges, these drums work the way they should. Effortless tuning and clear tones 🤙🏻 #gerogewaydrums #drums #studiodrums #bearingedgesmatter

Pearl Custom Classic solid shell came in for new edges for Warren! Super cool rare Pearl drum from the 90s. Like most drums the issue with this was the fact it could never stay in tune. If you continually struggle with spending way too much time trying to tune your drum, chances are it’s not you. It’s your bearing edges. Edges were levelled and properly profiled to open up the tuning range and give your heads less wear and tear along with keeping that stick rebound on point👌🏻 Snare beds were also cut to allow the snare wires to function as they should. #drums #vintagepearldrums #pearldrums #bearingedges

Gretsch Brooklyn flew in from Edmonton for @shawcrossdrums Edges were levelled and recut to a more versatile profile. On snares I always do “hybrid” edges. Meaning the batter edge has a more dramatic round over while the snare side gets a sharper radius. Rubber gaskets were removed from the lugs. These specifically caused all the lugs to loosen over time since there is no solid mounting surface. Thanks for trusting me with your drum Mike! #drums #gretschdrums #bearingedgesmatter

A couple Ayotte toms came in for a haircut for Warren! Whenever I do these kind of modifications my goal is to make it look as factory as possible. I had to plug a few holes on the 10” in order to get it to the desired depth. Which is very tricky to do in order to make them invisible. I cut my own plugs out of the off cut piece of shell I had left over. I also made new reinforcement rings out of the off cuts and pressure fit them in place and profiled them the same way Ayotte did. All edges were levelled and profiled to a more versatile edge. #drums #ayottedrums #studiodrums #canadianmadedrums #bearingedges
