Dear fellas, I hope I don't get banned for doing this.

I recently bought a Tama Superstar concert tom and converted it into a King Beat snare. Almost everything is done by hand, cutting the shell in half, doing the bearing edges and a bare minimum snare bed. Only the holes I used a power tool.

I still need some parts like tension rods and a badge. Right now I have tension rods borrowed from a different drum. The lugs I have were for a steel shell so the screws are too short, so I borrowed again from a different drum. According to some sites the screws are 3/16 28 thread and other sites claim it's a m5 0.9 pitch. Which one is it and does the m5 0.9 pitch fit the 3/16?

Also I have a question about the snare bed, what are the dimensions for a Superstar snare (depth and width). I would like to make it period correct, or at least try since I'll be doing it by hand. Anyway please let me know what you guys think.

I mainly did this because a Superstar King Beat snare is rare and pretty much out if my price range, and I had some parts laying around. The concert tom was pretty cheap as well so I figured why not.

Cheers and enjoy the few pictures.
