Hey Crew,
Since my "side business" has taken off beyond all expectations, (Concrete Pete's Custom Percussion) dealing in used drums, drum parts, hardware, etc., I decided to make a small tom shell out of fiberglass, (just for grins), and see how it comes out.
I have a whole bunch of fiberglass mat and resin left over from redoing the roof on my motorhome, and decided "hey, what the hell".
Has any company made glass shells before? I haven't heard of any, and am still looking around on the web to find out if anyone has.
I'll let ya'll know how it comes out, but I'm sure the prototype will be a hit-and-miss thing. I'm starting out doing a 13" tom, and using cheapo CB hardware on it. Any suggestions? I'm WAY open!
Stay tuned, and I'll let you know how it goes.
Rock forever,
C. P.
