That's amazing! Your setup to turn it is a work of art in itself. I still have my wooden Ludwig snare from High School band in 1960 - 1962. My son was on the drum line with the Canton Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps until he aged out so I have shared these videos with him. Great work Rob.
Another great build. Thanks for posting. It looks like you are using a rag to apply the finish. Since they sometimes leave little bits on the surface, it is helpful to put the rag inside a bit of pantyhose for the final coat to prevent that. I usually use WipeOn Poly and it’s easy to get a glossy finish, then Beall buff of course.
Thank you Rob, for, as I see it, picking up where the late Dennis Stauffer ended off. This snare looks to be much inspired by the Phattie Sounds Like Art Snares produced a decade ago before his tragic accident. I myself own one of these, the only 13" dragon snare he ever produced I believe (at least, it was the prototype which he sold to me at a considerable discount). Anyway, that's history now and I indulge my own history too much. To conclude, Until now, and since, no one has tried to CNC carve a snare as intricately as you do, and as Dennis Stauffer did!
Thanks for the comment. I originally thought I was the first doing this type of CNC work on a drum, and then I found out about Pahttie Drums. I wish I could have met Dennis, and could see his process. I am proud of my drums, but his are a true art form. I only do a drum every month or two as this is a hobby, and it takes a lot of effort to put out a unique drum like this.

you all probably dont care but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Sergio Sergio thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I've been kind of busy with the holidays, so no hardware yet. I am planning on going with black hardware. I hate drilling the holes for the butt & throw - so many buyers want a specific model - I would hate to lose a sale because I put on the wrong hardware. Where have you been? No videos in a long time. Any luck with your school door drums?
I finished it up with black chrome hardware, but the final buyer wanted to do his own hardware, so it was sold as just a shell. There are photos of the finished drum on the link. facebook.com/SidewinderDrums

Thanks so much! I still have my starter Ludwig Acrolite from the 1970s. I marched Troopers 1980-1982.
Gorgeous work, Rob!
AWESOME...... Thanks for sharing

I have not tried this "pantyhose" trick before, but I will soon (maybe this weekend on a non-drum project).
Thanks so much!!!
Very nice!

Beautiful! I'd love to see how it looks with hardware and hear how it sounds.

That’s an awesome looking drum shell! Very nice wood. Never seen this wood before. What kind of hardware are you gonna use?
lets get that drum finished....
