I'm curious if anyone here has dealt with Drum Supply House U.S.A. before? I just ordered the parts for my new kit from them this week.
In short, I'm building a custom maple kit, pretty much from scratch. I'm cannibalizing the lugs and rims from my acoustic practice kit, and putting them on new shells. I'm getting 6-ply thin Keller rock maple shells with no reinforcement rings & 45-degree bearing edges for the toms, and 8-ply versions of the same for the kick.
The toms will be 11 X 13, RIMS mounted ride tom and a 14 X 16 RIMS mounted floor tom. For the kick, I'm going with a 18 X 20 inch with 1.5 inch 10-ply maple hoops, and no spurs or mounting hardware. If you've ever seen a bass drum cradle before, it is kinda like an isolation mount for the kick, so you don't have to screw any hardware into it. I'm building one from scratch using materials from Home Depot.
I'm using thin rubber gasket material under each of the lugs, and double 1/2 inch vents in each shell. The finish I'm gonna use is a Colonial Walnut oil stain, which should yield a finish similar to the DW Satin Oil finish.
Thoughts?
