The virgin kick, contrasting hoops, that killer green stain, Fiberskyn 3 head, total class.
Hahaha. I'll make you your very own if the price is right. Until then hands off!
very nice job looks professionally done. how do they sound?
thats a crazy tom placement, hows that working for you?
Same thing happened to me with my snare build (still got to post pics). I had to double and triple check my measurements, was so scared I had done some sort of miscalculation.Staining and finishing was really easy. Drilling the holes made me a little scared because it had to be exact or the hoops wouldn't fit on right.
DUDE, sweet to say the least...amazing look, albeit as others have said unusual for the toms, but if it works for you and is comfy...KILLER. Love the look and it is truly unique. I have been doing a lot of looking as well to making drums myself and therefore this is just a big thrill for me to see. NICE JOB!
I definitely suggest building your own to anyone who has basic skill in wookworking at all. And I mean BASIC skill. It's not difficult at all and it's a great feeling to build yourself. It also offers sonic and aesthetic options that you simply can't get on the market today.
Thanks for the compliments!
hey i was just wondering what type of wood did you choose to use?
Very nice. Good to see you took my advice, too!
Welcome here, Although we aren't as...well, "strange" as The Pit. We are a quite, normal, community here.
I NOTICED that? I got here and I was all, wtf? Wheres all the nonsense and useless comments. On the whole though, I feel more at home here. Mmm drums.
Beautiful.
Were the bearing edges already cut on the shells, or did you have someone cut them, or did you cut them yourself? I'm under the impression that is the hardest part.
Also, it looks like you have half the tension rods/claws removed on the bass drum reso side. What's the reason for that?
