Hi Folks,
I got an old Cosmic Percussion Matador Quinto (yes the first Matadors were by CP-the only difference between mine and the new LP styles is that mine is 28 inches and has a traditional rim) but on to my question...
The drum is over 15 years old and I've beat the crap out of it. It has since formed a small crack below one of the "Horned" Side plates that opens as I tighten the drum and closes as I loosen it. I'm assuming its coming from where the bolt goes through the shell to hold the side plate on. I want to refinsh this drum and fix it up. any ideas on fixing that crack? i was thinking of tightening the head so it opens a bit and then stuffing in some really good wood glue or opoxy resin and then loosing it up so it closes and bonds. what do you guys think?
