Oh yeah\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At last, I got this drum in situ, as part of my current drum set up. The rest of the kit is a Catalina Club Jazz four piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This snare is 13\u201d x 5\u201d, with the main body comprised of 22 Keruing staves, with White Oak pinstripes, and Pine(?) dots. There are twenty holes around the the drum, and thus no need for a vent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drum was finished with about 8-10 coats of clear shellac. She\u2019s sporting a Remo CS dot batter side, and an Evans head snare side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I played the snare, as part of a complete kit, for the first time today. On Xmas Eve, no less. And, overall, I\u2019m pretty chuffed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole kit needs a lot of attention. And I need to get \u2018back in the saddle\u2019, playing wise, as I\u2019ve not played regularly for several years now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was great fun to play my first self-built snare drum in the proper full context of a drum set. There\u2019s a way to go to getting it to a place where I\u2019m completely satisfied – tuning, damping, snare settings, head choices, poss\u2019 even modifying the snare bed, etc. – but it\u2019s fab\u2019 to have gotten this far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are more drums being built, waiting in the wings. Exciting times!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
