Oh come on guys... I understand that everyone has their own ways of doing things and beliefs of what the best way of doing things are, this drum already has grooves in it was supposedly hard anodized however can see bare alum. at seal surface. The teflon rings just seem to fall thru the drum, the steel ones you have to push thru, was thinking of having drum honed smooth and installing steel rings but not sure of the rate of wear. A good friend of mine has a Pro-flite that has an alum. drum and uses chrome rings.However I decide to go I appreciate the responses. Thanks Joe
