My drums were at a building at which I could only practice 2 times a week. There was a show coming up (3 man drum off) I needed to practice so I designed and built a drumset. At first I was just going to use old heads and just throw it together to have something to hit. Im happy with it's tone...

These bongo cajons measure 16×7 x 7 inches. Sides are 1/2 inch birch ply and top is 1/8 inch ply. Tone of the drums can be controlled by changing the tops thickness, the thinner the wood, the deeper the sound is. Two sound chambers separated with birch ply, small for high notes, large for low...

My two year old is obsessed with drums of all kinds, so I figured I'd make him a drum kit that can be used outdoors (won't my neighbors be thrilled!) The frame is made of ~2 foot long western red cedar offcuts with a piece of scrap plywood for the cross piece. There are two five gallon...

My son needed a speaker for his small electric drum kit and I didn't want to spend much money so I gave him a cheap set of Logitech computer speakers which worked fine, but there was a mess of wires and it didn't look very hard rock, so I took the electronics out, cut up an old Bon Jovi concert...

These are what I call my economic drums. Me and my boy wanted to do a project together and he is really into music. We tried flutes first and they didn't turn out so well. Thats when I found these, WOW I never even heard of them before. The sounds they make are so beautiful. Since he is 10...

One of my other hobbies is to play bass and lead vocals in a classic rock cover band. Over the years when we look at pictures of the band our drummer Jeff is always hidden from view so I set out to build him a fold up drum riser. The platform itself consists of three pieces of plywood that are...

A couple of years ago, I had some boards that had been drying on a shelf in my shop. They where from a Green Ash tree that the city had cut down in my boulevard. I asked if they could save me a chunk of it. One of my son's is a percussionist, & collector of drums, So I decided to make him some...

I salvaged a monstrous walnut log from a 20foot high pile of logs poised to be burned. From the log I carved 3 large drums. This is the one I kept.
