Absolutely stunning shell... Are segmented shells much more prone to fall apart due to changes in temperature/humidity? Compared to plywood shells I mean...
I've not had any problems with shells failing so far. As long as the grain direction on all the segments is running the same way, (horizontally for segmented shells, or vertically for stave shells) all the wood should move together. The only two times, that I'm aware of, that one of my shells has ever failed, is because the customer has dropped the drum, or modified it in some way. In both cases I was able to repair the damage.
I've bought a snare from him and the cost depends on what you want. But when you think of the material cost, the parts costs (lugs, tension rods, hoops, etc), man hours and the quality product the price is very reasonable, especially compared to some other drum builders, including some that make ply shells. He also keeps in touch throughout the process of building your drum which is nice.
@@w00x360 I have been building Stave Snares for around 2 years now so know the time and effort it takes but I am yet to attempt the segmented drums like his. They are absolutely amazing. I build mine mainly from recycled Australian Hardwoods and some other sustainable Australian timbers. Each has a voice of its own so the energy and emotions I get from hearing a new drum speak for the first time is unbeatable. He certainly has his process of building these pieces of art dialed in. I shouldn't have asked this question on such a public forum but I would love to own one to add to my collection. Cheers for your input though 👍🙂
Wow! Beautiful!!! Is that 2 separate parts of a lathe? Looks like it...if so, did you buy it like that or did you mod a lathe? Can't believe I never thought of that! Thanks!!! :)
Well the head stock and tail stock were all part of the same lathe, but the bed bars which run from one end to the other, only allow objects up to 12" in dia. to be turned over the bars, so I got new bars made with a gap in the middle, now I can spin anything up to around 20" in dia. The lathe isn't really powerful enough for turning shells up to that size, but I only use it for sanding and applying finishes most of the time, rather than actually wood turning.
Murray Drums that's pretty much all I want a lathe for too lol. Can you take like :30 (or longer lol) talking about it and showing it...in you're next video? We have harbor freight out here in the northeast US. I doubt you have them there. Cheap tools...but a lathe from there should Sufi e for sanding. Thanks brother!!! :)

Beautiful that Muz.
Absolutely stunning.
That just might be THE most beautiful shell i have ever seen, and i've seen many in my 53yrs.
Please show that when it's finished.
Beautiful and beyond 😍

What type of lathe chuck is that? It looks like a 2 peice chuck? Thanks
You make some absolutely BEAUTIFUL drums. Do you mind me asking a ballpark figure of how much you sell them for?
