Remember that 10"tom I lowered last year? I've been working with it and here we go. I need some suitable snare heads for it, so I can test how this beauty sounds. The Engravements was made with a dremel and I needed to drill some new holes for a snare strainer. Still not sure rather I should fill all of those old lugholes or leave half of them open as it is now.
Bearing edges was made using a sandpaper and small tube, similar to this: http://www.prisma.fi/tuotekuvat//large/80/bmm2rlfnga2ljdpv.jpg
I rolled drum around in a tub and sanded in suitable angle with piece of wood and/or a carboard roll, depending what I wanted to accomplish. Top edge is like 30/60 and quite sharp. Bottom edge is more flat, round-like from the outside and sharp edged from the inside.
I felt my drummers balls descending to my knees during this project. It will be reaaady sooon!
Couple of pictures, here you go:
The rest of my kit remains still unfinished from the outside of shell. I added some mahogony antique wax to inside of the shells. Any suggestions for the outside or should I leave it natural, adding only some beeswax for them?
