put your willy in it. motion's pelvis could knock a hole through concrete

I've got one of those 'Holz' things...it's perfect for a good hole, you get silver, gold and black ones. They cost like 15 fucking quid but it makes the kit look cool as fuck

Get something circular, maybe 5 or 6 inches. Place it on the side of the resonant bass skin that doesnt get seen and dram round it with a pencil, push fairly hard so it leaves a mark then get a stanly knife and cut it, it should just slide through it if you have pushed hard enough with a pencil and if you've stencilled the thing accuratley you should get a nice neat hole

...that's exactly the same concept as the 'Holz' thing i've got - but this saves alot of hassle and gives you a perfect plastic (metallic looking) rim - it's the best idea

or if you want to play jazzz, dont cut a hole at all

haha, From hearing him play, i don't think a jazz kit would be best suited! (it would lead to many a' burst skin!) Jazz drumming is class though

we didnt even take the skin off the drum to cut it. im not even sure if we used a circle stencil or anything. DIY AS FUCK! but yeah that pretty much works if you tape up the circle after. it doesnt have to be perfect
