Customer Build: Canister Throne Black Sparkle

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. Canister throne tube
Bottom Ring 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! DSH Ring Perfection
Black Sparkle 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. Canister Throne

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"
