Hi Folks, I want to share my latest project/product. It's a 14 x 7 snare drum. This time I made it look like classic drums I've seen before. The wrap is pre-aged diamond pearl. Lugs are replica's, Throw and butt are Gibraltar. The shell I build myself; it's oregon pine (love that smell!), segmented and it's 20 mm. thick. Round-over edges, inside 45 degrees.
Tunes like a breeze, is loud, has abig fat crack, but the tone is mellow. Little overtone, sounds pre-eq'ed.
I love the little bits of wood between the lugs and the wrap. Classy looking snare.
Great looking drum! Top work!!
regards
Christian
Beautiful! You have to be the most talented craftsman on the forum, everything you do is top notch!
I like the brown (leather?) gaskets, nice detail.
Top notch looking snare drum.
Absolutely beautiful with first-class workmanship! I'm also curious about the hardware gaskets. What are they made of?

Thank you all for your compliments. The material is cork. I bought it on a holiday in Portugal . Every holiday i try to bring something home to use in a drum. Im currently working on a shell from a branch of very hard mediteranian oak i took home from croatia this summer
Niiiiiiiice work man! :D

Your joinery is so good.
I would like a segmented drum like that with no wrap.
Just a clear coat over the wood.
Would you make one for me?
Outstanding work Sir
