Very cool looking drum, you should be proud of it. I have to mention that the natural woodgrain is simply beautiful. There are nice looking drum coverings out there, but I still think drums look much better when they are sinmply stained or sealed. Especially maple and walnut. Great work.

Last 2 day, decided to change this 12"x31" cocktail-drum to 12"x25"!! reason(1)easy to travel by Air(2)enjoy playing sitting position.I did some change on this kit! add a Tama Boom cymbal stand(leg removed) & use a multi-clamp to clamp it.As for the Hi-Hat, I also made a metal bracket just to hold the Multi-Clamp.

Hi Peter,

Fantastic! I love the multi-clamp mounts on the side of the drum!

Where do you get the black mounting plate with the post from? What are they originally designed for?

Thanks for the update,
