My Pork Pie Zebrawood kit

[signia fan]

I have built a few 13X7 snares, 7 or 8 now I think, and they are a fantastic combination of depth, body and snap.

Hey Spaz, I found a Spaun Macassar Ebony 7x13 zebrawood stripe snare on line. . . . .quite pricey though.

[FlyByNight]

Wow almost the exact same finish. I think it would look incredible with black hardware.

[drummerMD]

I didn't buy that snare I was just was looking at Spaun snare drums on line and ran across this,that's all. I have a 7x13 stave Paduak wood snare waiting for me to complete.(hardware and all) I will post pics!

[SpazApproved]

holy crap!! that's exactly the same

[Bish]

holy crap!! that's exactly the same

Something fishy....but that's none of my business.

[Ricardo]

holy crap!! that's exactly the same

Looks like the same hoops and badge placements too.
Badges and lugs are different.
Does one company build for the other ?

[SpazApproved]

yay the final piece is here! My popcorn snare drum!







but this happen to be my favorite piece because Bill at PorkPie wrote this inside...

[SpazApproved]

Had to set it up right away!




I love this setup!

[Ricardo]

I like it, Spaz.

Nice, clean set-up..................would like to hear it in action.

[inthpktplayer]

Very nice indeed.

[Johnny G]

Yup, that's my kinda playground! Total love.

I saw a PP snare 13x7 in patina brass on YouTube. I fell in love with the aquamarine exterior. I went to the local music store to purchase. It was in stock, but not in the finish I wanted. It was more of a gray swirl. I bought it any way. After several days of looking at it, I regretted purchasing it.

I emailed Bill, and we worked out a swap. I sent him the gray snare, and in return he sent me a snare with the aquamarine finish that I wanted. It was an even swap. I payed only for shipping.

That is great customer service!!!

Spaz, I've seen your Yamaha, your PDP and now your PorkPie. Where can I see your other kits? The Ludwig and the Sonor?

I'll take some photos and upload them for ya.
My Sonor is my official quiet practice kit. It's setup with mesh silence heads and L80 quiet cymbals.


My Ludwig is at my music studio that I teach at along with my cheap Orbitone.
But man that little Ludwig is so much fun to play on.

I need a quiet kit!

It works great with having a baby!

How do the mesh heads feel? Do they feel at all like real heads? Is there any rebound to them?

[jgziegler]

beaut of a kit spaz, however i think you are now obligated to let us hear it too!

A lot of rebound! They are a blast to play and make you feel like a drum master haha So much fun!

I actually made a video just the other week but the snare buzz was so bad I can't bare to post it. I was going to redo it and came down with a nasty cold this last week. So I promise I'll get something up shortly now that I also fixed all that snare buzz with the felt strips and received the final snare drum.

[FlyByNight]

Oh man that's beautiful!

[CollinCo.Drummer]

Man I just found this thread, I dig that kit! beautiful!

[SpazApproved]

So the drum fairy made a trip to my house again....

x2 30" curved rack bars for my PDP kit which I'll finally convert to a double pedal
a used DW9002 Double bass pedal for my Sonor practice kit so now all I play on are matching 9000 pedals.
x2 Short Gilbraltar Boom arms
x1 Medium Gibraltar Boom arms
x1 Heavy duty Gibraltar Boom stand.





I was tired of taking my Pork Pie kit apart to make another small traveling kit because the tops of my cymbal stands were on the rack.
So here are the replacements and the poor bottoms just lying around...



And now I gained my cymbal stands back and my Pork Pie is set in stone... (that's not true I'll play with it more later haha)



Sorry the photo sucks but here's the new Gibraltar cymbal stand.
Holds both my 8" and 10" tom

[SpazApproved]

and the side rack with all new Gibraltar booms



and here's my quiet practice Sonor kit with the new/used DW9002 pedal.
I know it sounds crazy but truly it was annoying having 4/5 different pedals on each kit and the feel being so different.
Practice never felt right.
So now every kit at my house has the same pedals and basically the same feel to them.
