How did make the snare beds? I want to do the same but I don’t know how to get in perfectly straight or what to do with the bearing edges.

Well since I had already cut them once it was a bit more difficult than working with new ones.
I used the blue painters tape to make a straight even line. Then I used a dremel to remove the big sections and a hand file to even and smooth it out.
Then finished it off by hand with sandpaper and block.
Re: Why cutting the correct snare beds are important
Zack, I have to ask. How would 1 know if a snare (or any drum for that matter) sounds "perfect"? Is there some kind of measuring device that tells you if they are perfect or if they sound like crap.
That is a question that I have pondered for many a year. To be (perfect), or not to be (perfect), that is the question. So, therein lies the rub. How will I know, have I been playing drums that for all these years, were not perfect.
I have looked on Amazon only to find that there are no books, DVD's, CD's, MD'S, RD'S, or DD'S, but, alas, nothing on how to get your drum sound "perfect". There are books etc. on how to play, why should 1 play, why you should play the flute (not much to carry around), how to deal with musicians when you don't want to but need them if you want to play in a band.
Now, as I lay sleepless at night, wondering if my drums will sneak upstairs and pull a Loreena Bobbitt on me with a thin 18" Zildjian cymbal for not making sure that they were perfect. This, perish the thought, is what has been done to me in the remaining years of my life as I try to figure this all out.
Et Tu Zack, Et Tu.

Well Rick...Take a Ludwig Supra for instance. Pretty much "perfect" right out of the box. No extra curricular carpentry work required!
all the best...

That is a LARGE snare drum. Very cool idea. Makes me want to find an old used floortom cheap on the buy and sell to modify :P
