13X7 Walnut
I have dogging on my latest batch of builds, finally got one of the twin Walnut shells done. It sounds so much better than I had expected, not that I build crummy sounding drums, but this one is really nice. The playing feel is rich, lots of sensitivity, and a nice after crack tone from the shell. I did sharp dual 45's top and bottom, steam bent re-rings which are I inlayed into the shell for a flush interior. The walnut is one of the last of a batch of Walnut that was milled around 1977. I bought the lot from an older retired carpenter, nice score.

Beautiful finish work. Nice job. If only there was a 14x22, 16x16 and 9x13 to match them!

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!

Re: 13X7 Walnut
That walnut snare matches that kit you made doesn’t it? Was that the intention?
Re: 13X7 Walnut
Same design as my stave kit, burl inlay is fatter, kit is mahogany but the two woods are similar. I bought a pile of this burl veneer, I think I have 10 sheets two feet square each, so I gotta use it up. Looks so nice too, so I like using it up.

Re: 13X7 Walnut
Looking great. That bird's-eye in the back doesn't look too bad either.
Mmm... Saturns.
Re: 13X7 Walnut
Love that inlay look!
How did you attach the wooden bearing rings to the carbon fiber shell?
