As the subject says...
Looking to build one and I’m wondering whether anyone has any tips and tricks? There’s a bit of info online, but not sure how much of it is worth considering.
The online recommendations are for Baltic birch ply. Pretty rare stuff in SA, but I can get a hold of some. I’m more concerned with construction. Some people say glue the “drum” surface completely, other say screws only, other say leave the corners unscrewed/glued so that the corners have a more distinct “pop” on impact, others go even farther any sand the corners down a bit to have them “pop” even more…
I’m not a drummer, so I don’t really know what qualities are desirable…
Anyone tips or advice from someone who’s built one would be appreciated.
