I got a drum builder around where I live. He is doing that for 30 years and I guess he is not still getting anywhere.
he builds all the parts by himself. I want to have something built by him, a smaller bass, a 10" tom and a picollo snare. But I am very uneasy with the process he is making. he has the lugs forged in nickel iron or steel etc. I don't know exactly. but when I reassemble the lugs from my own no-name (I guess from taiwan) kit, they weigh half of the guy's own lugs. they are too massive.
I will try to order some good hardware from the internet, and have the shells built by him. But I don't have any idea if he has some precision information about building them. ( I feel like he just takes some wood and glues it together, I don't see no craftsmanship in his work)
anybody got any tips on how to build drums? what kind of wood with what thickness? etc. etc.
why don't I go to the store and buy myself some new drums? because this will cost really really cheaper.
