tweak it til it works VIDEO ADDED
I build my own drums, some come together first try, and some need a few go rounds to achieve the desired result.
Originally this canary wood snare looked too mono tone colour wise. It also did not have the sound I knew it should have. Canarywood is an awesome tonal wood. It is the only wood I have worked with that actually has a marimba tone ring when you tap the shell with a knuckle.
BEFORE
Then I added some maple steam bent re rings, re did the bottom edge with a different snare bed, and ditched the triple flange hoops for a set of chrome die cast hoops. Then I powder coated the hardware to match the chrome, and made some canarywood caps for the throw off. Snare now sounds and looks great.
