Custom drums..

[geet73]

Is there a cheaper alternative to custom drums than DW and OCDP? Do the other companies out there offer as good of a service?

How hard is it to build your own kit?

Building your own

Riolo www.amdrumparts.com will cut and drill if you purchase from him (he does good work), there are several other builders out there (www.drummaker.com). I finished a full set last year, it's not that hard. Mine sound and look as good as any, custom-sized and a third the cost.



I tried to attach pics, but too big. lemme know and I can email you pics, let you know how I did it. It's the only way to go IMO.

Why do you want a custom drum set? If you want certain sizes I see it but if you just want good sounding drums you can get a great pearl/tama... set on ebay for under 2 grand easy.

fwiw,
u don't really NEED those expensive drum kits. I've spoken to a lot of pro's and they tell me Head Choice and Tuning will really make the sound.
