I have >10,000 miles on drums from Randy, and have been trouble-free. If I understand right, he has taken over the business from his dear father, Mel. Randy has for me twice done drums and shoes, and once a full set of backing plates, in quick time, and at reasonable prices. Would only all businesses be as effective as his.

Well, for 100% disclosure, one drum got warped because I over tightened the shoes (the front left). A local shop was able to re-turn the drum, and I have been happy again - that was about 2k miles ago.
