I got this beauty yesterday from my buddy Fungus Amungus. Built custom for me.
I gotta say Fungus knocked this out of the park. ![]() He did all the bearing edges by hand and they are smooth as silk. Plus the vent hole is hidden under the strainer great little touch. Extremely classy looking snare! I haven't had much time to experiment with her yet, but I can say even with the limited amount I had played, this will be my snare for live gigs. It sounds fantastic. If you are looking for a nice custom snare so you don't have to take your vintage babies out of the house look no further!

Isn't it "N"ucklehead without the "K"?

That really is a nice looking drum.
Spare parts won't be too hard to find, but shoot, they won't be needed for a brand new drum for quite some time, one would hope? ![]() |

I don't think there will be any issues at all for a long time.

I'm a NuckelHead & my drums are NuckelHeads...Nick can spell it anyway he likes. He's a great guy to deal with & I built him a great drum...very proud of this one!
For the record, it is NuckelHead...it fits me (go figure) and is an answer to a question I was asked several years ago. I was selling one of my first drums online & a guy asked me what kind of nucklehead spends months finishing a shell instead of just wrapping it...my answer was "ME". LOL! Thanks again Nick! Glad you're happy! Dan

Ok,..I have to ask, When people here say they do the bearring edges by hand,..Are you take`n a hand held router (700+rpm) and going around the curcumference, or are you useing a rasp and file with sandpaper ?? I`m not being a jerk or anything but I been working wood for 35 years and I`m not bad at surface finnishing either so, What part of the finnish work takes anything the even remotely resembles a month, let alone months ??

Are there faster ways to do all this?...yep!, this is just my thing. I love the look of old antique furniture & pattern a lot of builds after that look. I'm just doing Old School-New School! Dan
