Today I made some new gaskets for the lugs on this drum. This involved the tricky operation of slicing thin (and old, possibly brittle?) rubber gaskets in half!*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 13\u201dx5\u201d shell is rosewood and white oak staves, with mystery splines. I went with triple-flanged hoops on the other (Keruing) snare. This one sports die-cast hoops. And don\u2019t they look utterly fab!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
