Tom,
That's about it.
I would suggest however, if you have a die grinder or Dremel, you use one
of these instead of drilling.
The slot in the screw is going to create havoc with a drill bit.
The screw is a beveled seat, about 3/16 diameter shank I think. Only
about 1/2 inch long total. Not mild steel so hard to get a bit started. A
stone will be your best bet.
Try to salvage the drums just in case....
GT6 drums run about $70-$80. You can save some $$$ by ordering from Dick
Burger at BPC. Good man to deal with. No, I don't work for BPC and I'm
not related to Dick.
Best Regards,
Tony
