Thank you folks.

Wow! I didn't see this!! Menuda currada!!!

Muchos meses de manera discontinuada entre reconstruccion y pintado, pero al final el resultado mejor de lo esperado. La tengo en un puesto de honor en la vitrina. La pena es que sea tan frágil la estructura de la batería con los alfires pegados y enmasillados. No me fío de sacarla de casa.

Big fan of Frank Beard - that guy knows a thing or two about drum grooves. One of the things he does best is play complex figures so they just come out sounding eZ. If you play, try playing Tush correctly. Not a snap.

Drum is my fauvorite instrument. I like go to the shows and be at first lines watching the drummer work, but don't know play it. In my teenage some friends formed a band and i could play as amateur a Tama with double bass some times at the rehearses.

next on the list needs to be Zeppelin

Buff, i don't see myself doing a reconstruction of drum kit again... at least in short time . The pity is that drumkit is the same in all the bands of the brand, and isn't real; the figures have a great sculpt and cast. Very nice for painting

"Drum is my fauvorite instrument. I like go to the shows and be at first lines watching the drummer work, but don't know play it. In my teenage some friends formed a band and i could play as amateur a Tama with double bass some times at the rehearses."

I started playing about 11 or 12, had to stop while serving with USAF in UK [9 years], but otherwise I've always owned a kit and played. Rarely in a band because we moved so often, etc. First kit was an off brand Pearl 3 piece (made by Pearl but carrying another trademark...forgotten which one), then a used Ludwig five piece with original Speed King pedals [still like those pedals], then a five piece Fibes fiberglass kit [Terrible sound and very heavy to move from gig to gig.], then a Pearl Export 7 piece double bass, then an electronic 5 piece with rubber heads [also terrible to play...] and finally the Tama Starclassic Birch double bass 8 piece I'm playing now. Super drum kit with fine sound.

"Buff, i don't see myself doing a reconstruction of drum kit again... at least in short time . The pity is that drumkit is the same in all the bands of the brand, and isn't real; the figures have a great sculpt and cast. Very nice for painting." I think I would approach making the drum kit by first making one lug and casting all the lugs needed. Then I'd make shells of the necessary sizes, probably from lead foil, have a couple of resin casts made of each and work with the shell casts only. Drum heads - thin aluminum foil, maybe. I think I'd make the cymbals from thin lead or copper foil, cut them to approx. sizes and use a putty or plastic form to shape the cymbal head.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to make another drum set. So many separate pieces to make!!!

All the best,
Dan

Wow Dan. Is a life between drums!!! In my parent's flat there was no space for a drumkit "to emule these hairy ear-destroyers whom will break the hi-fi equipment", and now at my home, no place and with the little children no time... gonna be my thing never done, i think. I have some friends learned play electric guitar, but i liked drums.

I'm lucky to have enough space for a hobby area that includes the drums and cymbals. So I just bother my wife. One of these days I'm going to come home to all the drums and cymbals out on the curb.

What I don't have is the foot speed and four limbed independence I had as a kid. My parents let the bands rehearse in our garages. We put up paper egg cartons on the garage walls to reduce the noise our neighbors had to endure - actually didn't get much grief from the neighbors - mostly just the opposite. Plus we had sense enough not to play any instrument at full volume during rehearsals.

All the best,
Dan

This is a great project! You've earned yourself a party on the patio now!

Prost!
