  I never understood any of this terminology before. This video is excellent, I now know what people are talking about. Thank you.

  Man I don’t really think I learned anything about beating edges but I feel I understand Quantum Physics more than

  Rick Beato should get you on his show. Not only would the discussion be fascinating, but the mannerisms you two share might make for a unique experience for you both.

  Thanks providing content on this topic. I was Ricky Lawson's drum tech for many years. In doing so, I learned a great deal about this topic. In may years of work, I came across two individuals that are known in Los Angeles/World Wide, as Edge gurus 1. Bill Detimore and 2. Chris Heuer. I've worked with both and had great results from each. Chris's work however is like a mad scientist and will basically cut an edge based on how you want the drum to sound/perform. If there's one thing I can say is, those small difference make huge difference in all Tone, response rate, resonance  length, attack and ability to tune. When the edges are perfect, you can tune it much faster and quicker as you dealing with a perfectly level surface across the shells and the head can be tension-ed evenly.  If you can, reach out to Chris and invite him to your show, you will be amazed how good he is. Bill too would be good, both are GREAT people!

  Oh the variables! Feels almost infinite when you really think about it. I hope this nerdy journey doesn’t end with just the drum itself, and you end up tackling topics like a drum vs room size and materials, temperature and humidity, etc. You have the insight and use a great approach to deliver the engineering and physics information related to drums. I’ve been searching for this level of detail. Keep it up!!!

  Wonderful video! I love the way Sonor in their 1982 catalog, has a conclusion that says what we already knew: &quot;One size does not fit all.&quot; There is no best choice. Hmmm...doesn&apos;t that apply to everything in life? <br>Even with the very best choices in drum bearing edges, woods and other things, each of us will end up with a favorite choice which has been modified by what we like to do to our drums in terms of size, heads, tuning, sticks or anything else. Still, this was an educational video worth watching.

  You’re my spirit animal. <br>Details details details but you’re ability to not wander too much allows the listener to learn the “why” as well the application. <br>Bravo!

  Just hanging out in my studio and letting this vid run in the background. &nbsp;Once again... BRAVO! &nbsp;:washhands: Great info for the masses. Clear, concise and succinct.

  You almost lost me when the definition was read at the beginning. But I still continued watching.

  Loving these videos - actual facts and the science behind it instead of the folk &quot;wisdom&quot; that surrounds these complicated instruments.
