Saw some feature from MD about their snare concept which is a thin ply shell wrapped around a solid shell with the bearing edges on the solid shell. What a pointless idea!
Just a day or two ago I saw a thread about this very drum, I believe on Facebook or perhaps another forum. One poster trashed the build concept, which the builder strongly defended. Intuitively, this seems like a flawed design to me, but I have no expertise in drum design. I'll leave it to more qualified folks to critique.
Whew! The world is just littered with extraordinarily-talented drum builders. The Bucks drums look like no exception.
But this gives me a business idea: I think I will establish a company producing the worst-sounding drums on earth with terrible hardware and heads made of Saran Wrap, shells made from white pine, and wraps made of paper bags and shellac.
Their selling point: the only bad drums available anywhere on earth.
GeeDeeEmm

I actually made a stave snare out of pine. It sounds pretty good. I am determined to someday make an entire stave set out of Spruce.
