I used to drill my own when I had my shop. You need a good drill press and your rotors need to have an even amount of vents/cooling fins. If you do not have a good pattern, you wasted the rotor. These days, it is not worth it to do it yourself. Also, home drilled rotors WILL crack!

Just buy new rotors, they aren't that expensive, especially when you compare them to a Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Kit.
