Yes, I'm back!
Hello and welcome to On the Edge Drum Services. My name is Bob Rodriguez and I live and gig in beautiful So. Cal. I use to offer many services but these days I'm just way too busy to do paint work and high gloss finishes. I now specialize in the easy stuff…wrapping, edges, repairs and a few other goodies.
-
Edge work: Are you one of those guys looking to breathe new life into your existing kit by having new edges cut? I can also help you out with that shell pack that you just bought but you don't have a router to do the work. I can do "round-over", 45 degree, and even the old vintage style 30 degree edges. Just talk to me and let me know what kind of sound you're looking for and together we can come up with a solution that will sound like music to your ears.
-
Drilling: Did you just buy a new shell and are afraid to drill it yourself? No problem, send it to me and I can drill the proper holes necessary to complete the job. I get a lot of guys who've just dropped a few hundred bucks on some exotic shells but just can't bring themselves to putting a drill bit up to them. Let me handle it for you. This way there is no heart ache and no guess work!
-
Restorations: I've done a number of restorations in the past. Anything from a simple waxing of the existing wrap finish to full removal and re-wrap, re-edge, and re-glue old reinforcement rings. If you have a drum that you would like to bring back to life, call me and we'll discuss your options. There is nothing like making something ugly look beautiful again.
-
Wrapping drums: You got a bunch of drums but they don't seem to match one another? Or you want to make that old kit look new again? Send them my way. I'll make them old drums look beautiful again.
-
Repairs: What about that broken drum that used to belong to a friend, that's been sitting around and you're not sure how to fix it? I can help you with that. I can bring it back to its original condition or better yet, I can overhaul it and make it better than new.
Here is how I work, I am not a store and I do not keep parts in stock. What I offer are my services. I can steer you in the right direction as to where to buy exactly what you are looking for. I have connections with some of the best builders and/or suppliers in the industry and can help you find almost any type of hoop, lug, exotic shells, or whatever you're looking for. Once we find exactly what you want, you purchase it and then have it shipped to me. I can usually get regular ply shells for you pretty easy since my supplier isn't too far away from me and I can get them on "will call." The best thing is to call or email me and we can set a plan of action.
Bottom line is that I love drums and love to help people with their drums! Contact me and we can go from there. If I can't do it I'll do my best to point you in the right direction. Or even if you just want to chat about drums, I just love talking about them!!!
Looking forward to hearing from you...Bob

For drums that need the wrap removed, I need to see it before I can give you a price. It usually runs the same price as it would to wrap it. The same goes for repairs and restoration…I need to see what it is exactly that you want done before I can give you a price.
