Homemade custom drums

Has anyone here built their own drum set? I know where to get all the materials I will need (keller shells, hardware, stains and laquers, etc) but I don't know how hard it will be to do. If anyone has done this, please give me some feedback on how the process went, and post some pics. I was thinking of making a little jazz kit: 10, 14, 20. Thanks guys. Thanks from the bottom of my broken heart.

I've built a few drums with some success. Sorry, no pics. Are you carpentry inclined? If you are, then no problem (well almost). Buy shells with bearing edges and snare beds cut and wrap the shells! Achieving that showroom stain/laquer is nearly impossible unless you do that sort of thing on a daily basis.

Mofishes--

 

That's not true about the lacquering. If you check www.drummaker.com/talk and go to the photo gallery forum, there are alot of beginners or novice builders who have put on awesome lacquer finishes. So it's not impossible.

 

This is NOT a good forum to talk about building drums, Drummaker.com/talk is the BEST one I know of.
