This may be the problem although how they look doesn't necessarily affect how they perform!
They don't strip anything down so they certainly will not have had opportunity to look at how much meat is left on the shoes. My advice would be to find this out first.
You may need to replace the older drum if the drum casing is more worn but you might just move the problem - you'd be safer with a pair of whatever you're changing.
