Get in contact if you need a hand with your gear! Just use the contact form on this page and let me know what service you require.
Cymbal Services
Repairs & Modifications
Crack Fixing
The size and type of crack will determine the type of fix required. Cracks going into the cymbal usually occur around the edge and can be cut out. It means the cymbal won't be perfectly round anymore, but the crack will have been removed and that annoying metallic rattle will be gone.
- £25
(+ £5 for additional cracks)
Re-sizing
Sometimes you may want a crack removed but fancy giving the cymbal a new sound. Cutting a cymbal down in diameter will do just that. If you have multiple of the same cymbal this is a good option for introducing a new sound to your setup.
- £40
Hole Drilling
Drilling holes into cymbals results in a more "trashy" sound and works really well to create effects cymbals which are a great addition to any setup. The price will vary depending on the number of holes.
- From £25
Rivet Installation
Adding rivets to a cymbal will give you a lovely sizzle sound. The rivets I use are made specifically with cymbals in mind so you know they will sound great.
- £25 (for 3 rivets + £2 per additional rivet)
Cleaning/Polishing
Cleaning your cymbals can be added to any cymbal service at an extra cost if you're looking to brighten up the look and remove those finger prints.
- £20 (per cymbal)
- £7.50 (with another service)
Drum Services
Repairs & Modifications
Bearing Edges
The bearing edges on factory drums can sometimes be rough and feel rushed. Typically on older, vintage shells the bearing edges can be uneven, not flat, and sometimes even painted. Having good bearing edges can level-up your drum sound! Will do a bundle deal on multiple shells.
- £30 per shell
Re-wrap
Sometimes vinyl wraps can warp or crack, or you just fancy a new look. These can be replaced, meaning you can customise your drums. The price will depend on the wrap you choose, and if any of the hardware needs replacing (some air vents are riveted on so need drilling out and replacing after)
- Ask for pricing
Re-size
If you want a shallower drum then you could look at getting the shell cut down. The final dimension can be affected by where the current lug holes are and any other hardware but we will work together to land on the right cut to make sure you're happy. This service will include making a new bearing edge on the cut side.
- From £50
General Clean
Drums get covered in dust, fingerprints, drumstick splinters, and various other things, so cleaning them can bring them back to life! Price will vary depending on the size of drum.
- From £25
Refurbishment
The metal parts on drums, if not looked after properly, can rust and corrode. Sometimes the parts are not salvageable so need replacing (we can do that) but sometimes they can be restored. Price will vary depending on the size and type of drum, and the service required.
- From £40
