New buiid!

[ghostman]

Okay, I've spent the last 9 or so months (maybe longer) doing some new e-shells.
I built 8" toms - a total of 8 of them (but I'm only using 5 of them), 2 18" bass drums, and a 13" snare.  All wrapped in a cheap copper metallic looking wrap, I might re-do the wrap at a later date, but it looks good for now.

I am using the pintech cymbals I bought a while back, and I got a new set of the new pintech hi-hats with the controller between the cymbals.  I am still waiting on my new Alesis DM10, so I am using the Trigger I|O and Steven Slate Drums (the $20 deal - woooot!).  I've officially retired the KORG keyboard as a MIDI sound source.
here's the full-on blog posting (If you don't want to read the blog posting, pictures are following):

You've got great kids! lol.  Thanks.  I need to still clean up the cable spaghetti, but it's getting there.  I still need to finish making 18" mesh heads for the rear of the drums.

Ever think of painting the rack black?  Or a bright fire red?  Or whatever...  Probably too late now, especially since you put it all back together.

just a thought.

That setup looks pretty sweet :-)

I actually picked the strut based on the color.  Strut comes in a few colors - depending on manufacturer.  Unistrut has a green coating on it.  B-line is a silver color.  The Super Strut I picked had 2 or 3 finish options.  Never thought about painting it, because I like it this way.. but maybe I'll get sick of it.

I think I'd have to powder coat it to get color to stick..
