The tricky part is making the jig. It seems like every other guy out there has their own way. I had to figure out what would work using some of the ideas I've seen.
Start here. It's what angles/size/#staves you'll need for the shell.

I considered commercially making these but quality hardware is too expensive to make it viable. Not too many people willing to drop a grand on a drum.
Thanks. I don't know how to describe the sound too well. Crisp, slightly warm, overall fairly balanced. My drummer gets a lot of inquiries about it after our sets so it seems to do pretty good. Our last snare was just a basic steel that was in rough shape and kept beaking heads.

What a beautiful looking drum. How does it sound?
