| Just made this for a customer in OH. 20 deep x 12 diameter raw maple tube with custom rings. To be used for a vintage style Canister Throne. |  |
 |
We used 8ply rings for the best support. We recessed the bottom ring by 3/4" to allow a disc to be dropped in for the base. |
| You simply will NOT find better rings ANYWHERE. Our tech Rob Kampa has perfected the process. No running glue, mismatched or short cut seam joints. ZOOM in to see for yourself! |  |
 |
While we on canister thrones…Here's a nice one that DSH customer Baker Drums completed recently. Black sparkle. |
| This one is going to Billy Mason for his upcoming tour. |  |

Customer Build: Canister Throne Black Sparkle
Custom ColorWrap: Dark Purple Glitter
Just wrapped this 16" floor tom shell for a local Nashville studio owner, using his custom choice of dark purple glass glitter. Edged and custom drilled the shell for his hardware of choice. Shots of the assembled drum to follow. Even had enough wrap left from the single full sheet for a snare project to come!
PureSound Snare Wires Deals Added to vDay Week SALE 41-67% OFF ends Friday Midnight CST
Just added 14" PureSound Custom Pro Wires, both Steel and Brass 20 strands Save big through this Friday 2/18 Midnight. If you've not seen these cool new wires, here's the lowdown.
The Custom Pro series of snare wires are the ultimate in ease-of-use. They're designed with Anti-choke end plates that significantly reduce annoying snare buzz and also allow the player to crank up their snare tension for a tight response without choking the drum. The Speed Release straps allow the player to disengage the snare wires without releasing the straps from the strainer or butt clamps, enabling quick and easy head or wire changes. The steel coil models produce a quick and crisp snare response.
I was lucky enough to give personal feedback to Mike R., the product designer, years back at the D.addario/Evans factory in NY… during a online retailers summit. Mark was actually drawing out his idea for me on a napkin at that point-classic! Nice to see it being used by drummers everywhere today.
Here's a video that we made at the Nashville NAMM show a while back as they were being debuted:

Customer Build: Amazing LED “Glow Kit” using White AquaBomb Acrylic shells from @DrumMaker
DrumMaker.com customer James -
"This a a drum set that I built myself. I ordered RCI [AquaBomb] acrylic WHITE drumshells (thanks Andy from DrumMaker.com) the best you can buy handsdown, all the major drum makers use them. I stripped a DW pacific set of all its white powdercoated hardware. I then drilled all the lug holes to match the shells that I took them off of, which came out perfect. I installed LED rgb lights which can change to ANY color with my remote control. I also had all the stands powdercoated WHITE and added paiste alpha BLACK cymbals! I will post video of how they sound because its amazing. The sizes are 6×5.5, 8×6, 8×7, 10×7, 12×8,14×14,16×18, 20×18 kick,13×6 snare and 10×6 inch snare"
Fun Fact: 45 years ago tonight Ringo Starr and the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan
… and countless of drummers were born across the USA. Not to mention an obsession with Ludwig and BOP (Black Oyster Pearl)
The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show on three consecutive Sundays in February, 1964. Their first appearance on February 9 is considered a milestone in American pop culture and the beginning of the British Invasion in music. The broadcast drew an estimated 73 million viewers, at the time a record for an American television program
