I finally have both of my self-built snare drums set up as part of my drum kit. And, to my immense relief and satisfaction, they sound – to my ears – as good as they look.
Decided to get both drums set up. I’m not usually a two snares guy. But for the sake testing these two out, it’s a good set up. 
I’m still very rusty, playing wise. I want to get back in the saddle a bit more, before committing any recordings of these drums to any public spaces.
I was feeling rather miserable today. In part due to trouble with bandsaws, both at home and at Shedders. Playing drums – and in particular my two DIY snares – lifted my spirits somewhat.
