Episode 1 – The Tools
Posted By Dustin on February 6, 2009
Welcome to the first episode of The Garage Drum Builder. I’ve started this show because of the lack of video content on the market about drum building. My goal is that this site would become the best source on the web for anyone interesting in building, modifying or repairing custom drums. In this episode I’ll talk about a tool kit that I’ll use in the first few months of this show to build a snare drum from a pre-made ply drum shell. Enjoy!
Hey, I just wanted to thank you. As you said, there is not alot of drum building videos on the internet. The best I have found was this guy Smiley. Very High quality craftsmanship on his stave snares. Thank you for posting this site, and as a new drum builder, I hope more videos go up. – Andrew
Thanks Andrew,
I’m glad to hear that these have been helpful for you. There are more videos coming. I’m currently saving up for a new camera, so as soon as that is in my hands I will be cranking out a bearing edge video. – Dustin
