Hi Peter. I just saw this new drum project you posted. That looks really cool! It's a nice design for a cocktail type drum.
Could I ask - does the snare drum have any kind of snare wires - underneath the head, inside the drum? I've been experimenting with snare wires on my cocktail kit and and still trying to get a good snare sound.
Hi,Robertom!
Thanks! Yes! there's a Snare-wire attached underneath the drum head.I the snare-wire is about 4" long(cut!) I attached 2 of them inside (position:left side:about 8 o'clock, right side: 4 o'clock).Is always a challange to get a good snare's sound from the Cocktaildrum.
Regards,
Peter
I tried something similar to how you did the snares on this drum. I took a regular snare wire, cut both ends off at 4", and put them both under the top head of my cocktail drum. It sounded very good! Closest yet to a snare drum sound. Thank you for sharing the details of your work Peter. Us builders can get a lot of help from seeing how you build your drums.
