I have build one 5 piece from raw Keller shells. A snare drum from a raw Craviotto shell and rebuilt and updates an old Ludwig snare. I am currently restoring 18 vintage TAMA superstar shells. I enjoy the process and the satisfaction you get when you are done.
Here is the Craviotto snare

Ok so I know we cant post links here so all I can say is search on ghostnote and drumshed to start. These are drum builders forums. Full of all the info you need to successfully build a custom shop pro level kit.
also another great resource is drumfoundry. They sell parts but also have a great tutorial section that explains prety much everything you need to know. This site is really geared at the builder offering tools you really cant find anywhere else.
I have done a lot of homework on building.
