Look what I've built now

[boomboomda]

Here is a snare that built. The shell is from Stanbridge Drums, but the lugs I designed and made by myself. Cocobolo shell with Cocobolo lugs.

Can i steal it?
its so nice, this is the first time i really liked a snare with such color..
keep drumming..

[sly1965]

I love it,these lugs are just great. I wish i have the talent to do something like this. actualy i'm more good to fix my old snowblower than working wood and precision work like this lollll. You have all my respect, good work.

That is absoluetly stunning. Seriously, imagine a whole kit like that....absolutely orgasm inducing. What's the story on those lugs? What goes into making something that pretty?


Kudos man, that's one of the hottest snares I've ever seen!

[Drumitup]

Awesome, is this the first drum u built? I am also thinking of building my own snare... eventually.

[finnhiggins]

Why is the snare stand upside down? I'd swear that thing is sitting on the feet, rather than the cradle...

[mosesman]

I think it's so that no part of this glorious creation is obscured; we can see the entire bottom hoop since the drum is resting on the feet.

Beautiful snare... exactly the color I would go for in a custom drum. How does it sound?

[boomboomda]

To answer all the questions,

the snare stand is upside down, so you can see the whole bottom, and I did it in case I crop the picture, then you do not see the claws of the snare stand. No this is not my first drum, I built my whole drumset (but not like this snare) and I aslo built snares as a side business.
To be able to make those lugs, you have to have some serious machinery, I also have a background in fine mechanics, so working on a lathe machine for me is a daily thing, and that is where I made those lugs.

That is heart-stopping! I agree with NJ. I'd be tempted to put that on an ionic marble display pillar under a spot light, with a theater cordon to protect it.

The hardware is brass plated, not gold plated.I am planning to do some more snares, but I did not come up with a price yet.

[Drummer Karl]

Great looking!!! I think about making a snare drum, too...but it`s really difficult!!
Oh man! I`m speechless about your snare drum!

[drumzrf47]

Just wanted to say ,as everyone else has ,beautiful drum,one to be very proud of ,fine job and craftsmanship

[Alk3fan]

Great looking snare! I've been telling myself im gonna build one... but i havent foudn the time yet. What did you do to construct the snare bed?

[somedrummer]

That is beautiful. May I ask what the shell material is?

[Exportdrummer]

Holy junk Man! That is ..... amazing the lugs are awesome looking

[Exident]

Wow, just wow...thats such a beautiful snare...i´m getting sentimental....i could cry...it´s so nice...wow
nice work

[NYdrummerdude]

wow thats a beautiful snare looks great

[MECHT4NK]

that's a beautiful drum. great work and I love those lugs. ohwyeah and why haven't I seen this one earlier :)

[GRUNTERSDAD]

Im in Seminole, only a few miles away. Mine needs to be 14 x 7, of the same wood. I'll buy the heads and assemble the drum if that will save me some cash. LOL. Very nice piece I will agree.

[beatsMcGee]

very nice indeed... how many snaers do make a month ? or should i ask how long does it take to make a snare like that?

[dwjosh]

yeah this snare rocks.. really amazing work man.

[hauk]

wow, looks good. i will say i prefer the industrial-style blue one somewhat, but still, nice job

[Pedey]

my my my! that truly is stunning, fantastic work you must be proud.
