Put my Black Beauty back together after getting the shell back from engraver John Christensen. He did a masterful job bringing my overall vision to life!

Absolutely nothing. Fended off two bands wanting to rehearse. Man, I just don't have the desire right now.

Recently bought a used set of Zildjian Scimitar 13" hats for $36. Cleaned them up today with Never Dull... If you've ever used it you know it's quite messy but the results are good. They're a pretty good little set of hats.. the top has a pretty nice ring. Going to mount them on the right side of the kit for hat riding.

I downloaded a drum tuning app and used it to see how far out my tuning by ear actually was.
I was quite pleased that most of my lugs were less than a couple of hz of each other,but the difference between batter and reso frequencies definitely required assistance.
I found the whole experience frustrating and yet therapeutic in equal measure and out of all of the drums I tuned it was a really cheap Pearl Export 14x6 snare that ended up with the most noticeable improvement.
Made this custom 13” concert floor tom for a Junior drum kit.

[QUOTE=Olimpass;732999]Customized this kids kit.
Wow, that's really cool! I'm sure it made his day!
Thanks Tom. I know I didn’t explain but it was my granddaughters kit that she outgrew. I found another kit online locally, used a tom from it and added it to this one.
Wrapped it in vinyl alligator skin and added a Remo black dot head to snare. Manipulated cymbal, snare and tom arm positioning.
A couple posts above this, I’ve made a custom floor tom for a junior kit.

Meanwhile....another side project...
A 16”x16” floor tom snare drum?

Do you think a 14” set of wires will work instead of trying to buy a 16” set of wires?
Has anyone tried a set of 14” wires on a 16” drum?
