12, 14 and 16 inch toms finished. Sound very nice, warm and open. Reeeeeally long tones (I guess because of the very thin shells).

Bass drum allmost ready but waiting for a decent hoop, which will take a while. I'll post pics in the gallery when set is complete.

Oh brother!....that is really nice. Is that a stain or tongue oil finish? It's perfect.

Thanx,

Shells are stained very darkly with walnut-stain.

Hoops are natural.

I used satin oil (Osmo, a brand of wood oil for floors, very tough)

Excellent work, I almost missed this thread, glad you post a picture in the gallery. Excellent idea with the ring extension, very nice work overall. Congrats on a real cool drum set.


Thank you!
