hello, i'm not sure if you were replying about my post that i had
posted sometime back about my own version of rim silencers that i
made for my pintech pads,but yes i had made some of these rim
silencers for my pads using 3/8 i.d.(inside diameter) fuel line that
i purchased from my local auto parts store,what i did was make an
incision on one side of the hose so i would be able to slide it over
the rim,and then place it back on my concertcast,then after i had an
incision in the hose the length that would circumfrence the whole
rim,i cut the hose to size,then slid it over the rim,and where the
seam is i made a few wraps with black electrical tape,and you don't
really even notice it's there.. i made these silencers last year,and
still have yet to replace one,and i think it costed me about a little
over $2.00 a rim to do this,because they sell the hose by the ft.you
can get as much as you would need to make different lengths if
needed. i needed 6 for my concertcast pads,and then one for my
pintech ax-14 snare..speaking of snares this is when they are really
great for on a dual zone snare pad,so you can get the rim
shots ,without all of the noise of the stick contacting the bare
metal rim... check the pics out in this group to see what these rim
silencers look like when they're on the pintech pads..
hope this helps,
