I had two Yamaha Maple Custom toms cut down along with new lug casing holes and bearing edges. The craftsmanship, communication, shipping turnaround time, and price couldnt have been better. Gary and The Precision Drum Co. are the real deal. Highly recommend.

Precision did a fabulous job on my Camcos, George and Gary can be counted on to always provide top notch service at a reasonable price. I was really happy to see the professional wrap installation and would recommend them for all your drum tech needs, from bearing edges to extra hole patches to wrap installation and re-ring repair, they can be counted on to do a superb job.
