This is a kit I custom-made in commission. It is made from several different European marching drums. All drums had wood hoops. I stripped, stained and oiled all of them. Very thin shells (some maple, some birch).
Sizes: 18 (bass), 14 and 16 (floor), 12 (rack)
For process (which is more complex than you might think, due to metric sizes), see:
great use of marching shells !
Very nice looking kit.
Beautiful kit!!
I have always wanted to piece together one of these...great job!
This looks great!
What is that 'snare' stand holding your high tom?
Snarestand is a flimsy old stand I once got with an Olympic kit. Don't know if itwas original with that kit. It was in a very bad shape. I touched it up a little with rattle can silver paint and a brush of black. I only use it for holding toms for pictures. It wiggles when you hit the tom.
Those look great ! Very Nice job on those. Bet they sound good too.
Yeah, the stand looks pretty light...but perfect for pictures!
Speaking about light... The set weights about nothing! Very easy to transport.
@ Vibes. Yes it sounds good! Lots of tone and sustain!
Very nice, great idea.
