For sure, I enjoy getting my hands on drums that the last person couldn't get to "sound good"! A head change and proper tuning / snare strainer adjustments and a detailed cleaning did wonders for this drum.
FYI I replaced the single ply original head with an Evans control since it tends want to "honk" a bit with the thinner batter ( even with a MoonGel) I may take another look at the bearing edges and check it on a mirror. Re cutting bearing edges is something I personally only try as a last ditch effort , I wouldn't touch a nice shell myself.
I have turned some pretty crummy abused snares into respectable instruments over the years and almost always for little $. and lots of satisfaction.
I think any drummer using the right technique, parts and patience can make any drum (thats in round), sound good.
hey Dog.......so how u know im not out all that much anyway??!)
