Hey y'all, I'm new here but I've been enjoying looking through the threads, learning and seeing everyone's kits. I've played music since I was 7, but I just started drumming because I was banned from it as a kid. My parents steered me away from it and directed my musical interest towards other instruments. I filled in on bass at church for a few months though (I usually play guitar), and started paying attention to the drums which sparked an interest. Our drummer been teaching me a few things, and I decided to cobble together a kit of sorts. It's nothing spectacular, but it's unique/different and I thought some of y'all might get a kick out of it.
The base of the "kit" is a cajon that I made with an adjustable snare assembly. Building on that is a hi-hat and an old snare that I salvaged. Next step is a crash with a tom hanging from the cymbal stand. Then I filled it out with a crash, second hanging tom, cow bell and floor tom.
The tom sizes are 12", 13", and 16" which are bigger than I wanted. The 16" floor tom over powers the cajon. I wanted 10", 12", and 14" toms, but I picked these up on Craigslist for $50, so I figured why not.
The next step is to make matching birch stave drums.
Let me know what y'all think!
