I can't imagine that it wouldn't. Being a fan of '60's Slingerlands (and fixing up cheapo rescue kits), I've had to level and in some cases restore the bearing edges of at least a dozen drums, which is a lot of bearing edges at 2 per drum.
The difference it made was huge and immediately noticeable.
No more weird wolf tones, no more impossible-to-tune drums. Putting heads on and tuning up for the first time after you've had the edges restored is like getting a new set of drums, only better.

I have had good luck using this grill stone out of pumice sanders it forms to the surface and smooths it out with destroying the angles and it removes a very small amounts at a time
Yes and I've also been thinking it shortens the shell a bit, hopefully it wouldnt end up sounding tinny and losing that nice tone.
