haha roger that.
I was thinking of not putting the screws back in to see if I could get the magic.

Jeff, did you see a 14 x 8 Designer in Maple heavy go through ebay.de??!
Dayymmm I missed it. I think it had a low buy it now.

A drum I definitely did not make friends with. Or was it 6.5? They all blur together. It was brown.

I would love to try some heavy shelled Designers. But man they are rare.

Very nice job... Is it real bubinga or the fake stuff? Doesn't look like that fake Sonor bubinga?
How about pics of the compete kit set up?

It's real Bubinga Percusski. I only did two toms, a 10x10 and a 12x12.
I have enough to do a complete kit but pieces are hard to find. Especially long lug.
I lost a 8x8 and 16x16 in an auction.
That would have gotten me close, just needed a bass drum.

The finish looks a lot like a Link era finish, Kel. Nice job.

I've found it virtually impossible to find decent 2nd hand gear, it's like nobody is selling anything...
Maybe it's easier over in the USA?

A lot is being sold on Facebook.

Did I really write "A lot is"? :roll: Maybe you thought I was referring to real estate.
