Bass Drum Hole Cutter

Nine marked slots on the bar set the hole size, shown in inches at the bottom of each slot. Insert the centre point into the slot for the size you want, press the centre point into the head, then press firmly over the cutting wheel and centre point while spinning the tool.

Using it

• Remove the head and lay it face down, preferably on card board or posterboard on a hard surface
• Leave at least 1in to 2in between the hole and the edge of the drum rim. Bass Drum O's suggests placing it away from the centre of the head for as much front-head tone as possible
• Do a practice spin first to see where the centre of the hole will fall
