Tubes Everywhere! But what colour are they?

[Panopticon]

Ok ladies and gents. This is the big one...the most important thread of all of your lives!

I'm making a snare (getting the parts from a local custom company) and i've decided on everything but a finish. (and hoops)

I'm going with 20 offset chrome tube lugs (10 on each side) and a Dunnet strainer/butt plate.

I'm doing the finish myself but i can't decide what to get...

Black Sparkle

Red Sparkle

Blue Sparkle

These obviously aren't the exact colours but just pictures off google to use as a reference. Which would YOU guys choose?

[Loyton]

Well what color is your set mate?

[abandonthetruth]

i liek the black

[Tim]

the black sparkle.

[Motleyguy]

the red would look cool and bright and what not. But the black looks the best, so go with the black, as it looks far superior to the others. The blue is ugly.

[TormentorScott]

What color is your kit?

[Panopticon]

This is my kit..

Everybody vote in the poll please!

[Loyton]

If the hardware is black, Id say the red finish FTW.

If the hardware is chrome, id say blue FTW.

If your kit is blackish, then go for matching with the black FTW.

Guys, keep in mind that i only voted black so that i would be able to see the results...

Just thought i'd mention it

[drummingducktape]

green or orange man

[trysthedrummer]

I say Red sparkle. People probably won't vote for the blue because the blue kit looks horrid, and the black looks the best.

I just think red would go well with your kit, and my personal as well. :)

[Motleyguy]

when are you gonna refinish that bass drum man? and do the black sparkle.

[Panopticon]

bass drum will probly be finished when i get more lacquer...which will probly be when i do the snare...

[rockindrummer]

I'd go for the black sparkle man. I think that it will work the best with the colour of your kit.

[Panopticon]

maybe i should mention...for the next kit i plan on a cofee/ebony burst mapex orion...

[abandonthetruth]

[Undisco Kidd]

Green sparkles are sexy.

you can just click "see poll results"

But I think they could all look good, depending on how well you did it...

A dark blue sparkle could look pretty tight.

[puppet.master]

black spawkle is teh seks

try doing your whole kit in it :)

[CombatWombat3]

Question, how are you doing the sparkle? Wrap or not?

[FL3P]

I have blue sparkle so you cant have that one. :p I like the black though.

[playwithfire]

Bright blue looks like hell on kits. I would recommend... probably a dark red sparkle, go along with the bass.

[AmodestBeginning]

in my opinion, definetly the black sparkle color

[Seafroggys]

Red looks kickass....

[Quinto]

if you could find a darker, deeper red, like a blood red sparkle i would say that, but that color is fugly

[Against-the-Scene]

a black drum with red sparkle would be awsome

[Drum Monkey]

Honestly I'll say what I've said in every other similiar thread. I personally like the black sparkle, but at the end of the day, it's you playing it. I'm sure you'll come to a desicion on your own, I just don't think taking other peoples' opinions is a good idea, because it may throw you off of what you really want.

[Swiftay]

dude, i would finish in that cool wood finish that you did with your toms!

[Loser]

Red drums sound better than blue or black drums. This is based on a scientific study that never happened.

[Panopticon]

Question, how are you doing the sparkle? Wrap or not?

My local Canadian Tire has sparkle spray paint. I'm using that...

[PremierManiac]

Black, it's just a superior color.

[Bonham#1!]

Go black sparkle.......the thing wouldnt let me vote though.

EDIT:now it has

[Bonham#1!]

My local Canadian Tire has sparkle spray paint. I'm using that...

sweeet where is that Canadian tire?

[ilikenoise]

snares that aren't the same colour as your kit are the best.

but its got to be natural for wood snares
