New Drum Day! I had a snare built for my son in the late 90s, and that took him through his final years at High school, a year-long tour with the broadway production of Victor Victoria. several college auditions, and a degree in percussion at the San Francisco Conservatory. It's now on "loan" to me.
I always though it would be cool to build a bass drum to match, and finally got it done. It's a 10"X20" semi-compact style drum by master builder Keith Larsen of Baltimore Drum. Final assembly happened this weekend. Had to match a 25 year old finish (Maple honey gloss) , and it came out perfectly. Not planning to join a band (my lat pro gigs were 40 years ago) , but you never know...
