  • The Meinl Benny Greb Crasher Hats have been on the list for awhile now. I wasn't sure how using regular splash cymbals would work out being so thin, but I was surprised how well they worked!

      David you should make a budget version of the Meinl Like Holland Bullet Stack, it sounds sooooo amazing, just costs that Meinl Premium 😂😭. I've tried using a 16" Wuhan Linear Crash, and a modified 12" wuhan splash. Might try Istanbul Xist Ion, but would love to see your take on that stack.

      I bought a piece of 14” stainless steel pipe and had a friend turn it into the worlds heaviest snare drum lol... he called it the Frankenstein snare. Very rings but sweet at the same time. It just had to be turned down a good amount on a lathe to get the od the correct size . Here’s a pic of the drum... he also has pics of a few wood shells I made by bending birch wood around some molds made from PVC pipe. They are under the “making shells”tab. wastingwebspace.com/Pictures/CoronaDrumz/StanlessDone3.JPG.
