multitenorguy Registered: 05/11/03 Loc: Sweetwater TN	I have 2 6" spocks on my Yamaha's and for the highest pitch drum I cut a 1 inch hole on the side of the shell. It really helped with pitch between the 2 drums. _________________________ My Drums: -14" Yamaha SFZ Chrome with Chrome Hardware -6,6,10,12,13,14 Yamaha Tenors Silver Sweetwater High School 2000-2003 Tenors Director and Founder of Cobalt Drum and Bugle Corps Yamaha, Innovative Percussion, REMO, XL

If I remember correctly too, I think I've seen a 1" hole drilled in the side of one of the spocks on Cadet's sets of tenors. If I recall correctly.

To clarify, projectors do not "add" sound they change the sounds direction.."projecting" it forward...which would be useless with a spock considering it would force the sound into drums 1 and 2..the 1" hole method is the best it makes the drum have more attack.. but it does sound thinner..

percforlife20 Registered: 10/20/04 Loc: Richmond, Va	Yes, Yamaha drills holes in the spocks for their corps that get custom drums. My school recently purchased the Crossmen's drums from 2005-2006 and the spock shells have the 1" holes in them. They are also cut to different lengths. The one on the left is slightly deeper than the one on the right. _________________________ Michael Auman [color:"#CC0000"]Crossmen Pit 2005[/color] [color:"#CC0000"]Crossmen Pit 2006 Age Out[/color] [color:"##FF0000"]Mills Godwin Caption Head/Arranger 2004-present[/color]

ybooby Registered: 07/11/05 Loc: New Jersey	I was at the cavies camp and of course they had the 8" and 6" spocks on the XL hardware. Needless to say ALL the hardware is different. Ive always wanted to do that, but it seems like a costly process. _________________________ [color:"red"]-Hunterdon Central HS- [/color] Bass 02, Tenors 03-05 [color:"red"]-Rutgers University- [/color]Tenors 07 [color:"red"]-New York Skyliners-[/color] Tenors 05 [color:"blue"]-Raiders-[/color] Tenors 06, 07, 08
