Should I attempt to fill the Rogers holes before a rewrap, or just let the wrap hide em?

You should fill any holes that you wont be using but that one for sure because its so big.
Thank you!

Well, I have many different types of hardwoods and plywood's at hand in my shop. I would take some of my Baltic birch plywood and cut out the circle on the band saw ( you could use a hand held jig saw). Cut it a little big then fine tune with my edge sander until it fits nice and snug then glue it in. Once glue is dry (Tightbond 2 overnight) sand it down flush with the shell inside and out.
Thank you!

Thanks, that's what I will do and post the results, got three of em to fill.
Yes Sir
What's the right way to fill a hole that big, and what material do you use?Toilet
I filled a similar hole in a Ludwig tom (modular hardware has a similar 1" hole) with fiberglass. Worked very well but you need to know what you're doing with the FG.
I covered the outside of the hole with duct tape to act as a "mold" and keep the FG resin inside the drum. I cut circles in the right size from FG matte then dipped them in resin and stacked them into the hole until it was full. when it was cured I had to sand the interior smooth but the tape had left the outside smooth and flush with the outside of the shell (smooth enough for wrapping). I dabbed some light tan acrylic paint on the interior and it's all pretty good. No sonic issues that I have been able to tell. Process is a bit messy though.
