Hey mate, thanks for your comment. I glad you're getting something out of it. We have lot more in the can that we are working on ATM. Kind regards, Tony
Hey Vince, no I did't polish it at all. It's basically the final hand-rubbed coat is the finish. The trick is what you do between coats, and how well you prep between coast. Pay the most attention to this. I usually do three coast, but if the shell sucks up more it needs more poly and will require more coasts. Thanks for your interest; blessing Tony Moore
The drum sounds GREAT as a floor (or floating) tom, and could even make for some interesting sounds with the snares engaged. I was actually surprised how great it sounded when you first hit it...not that I thought it would sound bad, I didn't, but it was better (and maybe a lil more "modern" sounding) than I'd expected. Sounds like you did a great job on the bearing edges.👏 We're they pretty sharp?, like a double 45 or something?. Cheers!, from Nor Cal US
Hey Jim, yes I did re instal it. I try to set up the dampener just below the head, so that when I strike the head the movement is dampened, rather than dampened all the time. Thanks for your comment. Kind regards Tony
Hi... new to your channel; awesome job and lovely snare sound. Now I'm thinking of converting my 14 inch into a snom. Jaja! Anyways, I'm planning on doing this type of job to all my drum shells (the stain job) and I am unsure if you would consider necessary to put some kind of a rubber gasket under the lugs, just so they don't make contact with the finish.
Great question Antonio. Now in drum design land there are many hotly contested opinions; but I don't subscribe to any opinion. Instead, I grad a shell, lugs, heads, hoops and tension rods and methodically make changes, like adding gaskets to lugs, and what I find is this. A gasket on a lug (or anything for that matter) dampens or worse, disconnects the energy/vibration from the sum of all elements. However, it depends on what material the lug is made of, where it's installed on the shell and most importantly how tightly it's locked down; with too tight being bad or worse. My preference, if I had to instal a gasket to protect the finish is to use a thin quality felt, but it's a trick to manufacture so many perfectly with simple tools at home. I actually just make sure my lugs a fitted evenly and torq set to avoid chocking the shell and so the drum. Thanks for your question. Regards TM
Wow.. Drums sounded great, no whompy ring outs, and overtones ! Bravo
Thanks mate, it’s a great drum.

You did a great job.really enjoyed it.
Thanks mate. I appreciate your comments.
Hi mate - love you videos …. Questions. Did you polish the drum with a polisher and if so what video is it in?

Hey mate, yes it came up great. I cut double 45's adjusting the apex to suit remo heads out of the box. Thanks for you comment
Love the build Tony, I am a big dampener fan, did you re-install it? If so how much head contact? Much respect from Wisconsin. Jim
