Need new bearing edges cut in Philly area

Jimbo · 22nd December 2008

Can anyone recommend a place in the Philly area that can cut new bearing edges on my shells?

How about stripping and refinishing?

Thanks!

Just ran across this post (haven't been around this forum much for a good while).

He's not in Philly, but I can tell you that THE man to do this kind of work in the NYC/New Jersey area is Nodar Rode:

Nodar Rode Drums | Manhattan Drum Shop

Nodar is simply the master at cutting edges, snare beds, etc.

He does great work, his prices are reasonable, and he's a very good guy to deal with. You won't be sorry.

i'm late to the party, but i was also going to say, drive to the NYC area and lookup Nodar Rode. Did a new snare side edge for a 70's Rogers (Big R) maple, 14x8 for me. Really took that drum over the top.

He also does great work on cymbals.

Nodar is great and actually in North Jersey somewhat near the GWB. Highly Recommended.
