that looks awesome great job, what are the specs? how did you cut the bvearing edges? and at what angle? are they 45/45? most importantly how do they sound? what are you going to use to mount them?

Optimounts for all 3 of them, should be in on monday at birmingham drum centre.

I went for the reference style edges. Double 45s on everything with gradually larger roundovers as the drum gets larger.

That really is very very nice. Can't wait to see that set up. I'm not usually a fan of natural style finshes but that whole look is very classy.

pete, where did you post the tutorial for making drums? and what kind of lathe do you use to do that. also what kind of lathe do you use?
Parradiddle Pete
08-12-2006, 03:42 PM
We use a VB36 Master Bowl Turner. Pretty amazing lathe all in all, about the top one you can get. I posted the snare progress pics in a thread here on MX. Search for it using 'windowsill' as the word. If you dont find it, try on forum.drumshed.org, same search keyword, if not, then you're out of luck sorry.

Hey Pete.

Wow, .. sooooo impressed, I really hope that we can make a deal and your dads willing to build me a snare. But, .. you know I want wood hoops, .. so hopefully you can pull that off. Overall, the kit is going ot look AMAZING. Can't wait to see the whole thing up, . .and you know audio ASAP, or i'll send you hate mail or some anthrax or something. Keep up the good work mate!!

^^I think he wanted to see if he could do it ot be honest. They made the lugs too, .. so i think its just more custom, more his own, .. i like it. wood hoops are classy

Ohhh man that is looking awesome! Wood hoops are the complete daddy!

Im trying to create something similar, just trying to track down a lathe which shouldnt take long, how does it sound though? And the bearing edges, how did you do them? what kind of angle did you do it at?

How much has the wood cost you so far?

Any tips and help would be appreciated!
