Thought I would share some of this for your possible entertainment value.
I have had the thought to attempt to assemble a very low cost pancake kit. Note that DW's pancake kit is 900 USD.
What you see in the picture is: a 20 dollar frame drum shell, with a good drum head and a drum rim, using frame drum tuners.
Bearing edges aren't cut yet, and it already sounds good. After bearing edges, I'm sure it will be better.
I don't have concerns about the strength of the shell, especially the way I play. My biggest concern at this moment is - the strength of the very cheap frame drum tuners.
I might need to find stronger versions of those.
1. Thoughts, throwing of rotten fruit?
2. Anyone know where I can get better frame drum tuners?
If I make this to the finish line, the shell bearing edges will be prepped by the masters at - Precision Drum Co.
It will be an interesting challenge to build a low cost pancake kit that all fits in one bag.
