The front of the bassdrum with Ludwig logo.
As a reference, my 1/4 scaled 24" drum bass is the same size as a real 6" tom.

Mr eaz.
What material do you use to cast these great parts?
Are the molds RTV silicone?
Do you carve the positives out of wood?
Do you paint the chrome finish?
OUTSTANDING SIR
Thank You
Dear Green glass drum,
I use Polyrethan resin, I guess it's the same name in french than in english.
Yes, the molds are in silicone.
No, I don't use wood to make the positive. In fact, I use a lot of various material, it depends on the part I have to create.
Yes, I do the chrome finish.
And thanks a lot for your feedback
Alright polyurathane resin.
Have to check the spelling.
We have it here in the US too.
Thank You
Checked it. "Polyurethane"
The last WIP post, the back of the bassdrum.
Next photo session will be the complete drumset...
Share, share, share...

It wasn't the easier parts to make, it works but it isn't perfect.... The cymbals
