I came accross this article and wanted to pass it along. I have a spare set of drums and might get this done.

Pretty cool. Maybe I should do this on my Roadmaster.

we used to do this on our sand rails, yrs back, ( vw sand rails) more to get rid of the sand, than anything else,
under hard use, we did see cracks in the drum, but no failures,
later went to rear disc, and drilled them too!
