Bearing Edges:
The bearing edge is the part of the drum shell that contacts the drumhead. Chicago Drum & Restoration offers a variety of Bearing Edge options that will cater to the sound you desire.
Standard 45 Degree Bearing Edge:
This will create slightly higher projection and attack in the sound of the drum.
Double 45 Degree Bearing Edge:
The Double 45 Degree edge will create even more projection and attack than the Standard 45 Degree Edge.
30 or 45 Degree with Roundover Bearing Edge:
This kind of edge will create a warmer sound with less attack.
