After the presentation of Ed Blanchette’s baritone guitar at Tumblestone 2024, I was approached by Ian MC of Teknosis. We had a brief chat about the snare drums and Ian had decided to use one of the snare drums that I had brought over to Tumblestone for drummers to try out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks after Tumblestone, Ian and I discussed a possible build. I brought all available snare drums to his place for him to try out. About a week later Ian told me that he had a preference of the deeper and thicker snare drums from my builds. After some consideration, Ian said he wanted an 8 inch deep snare drum and intially said 1 inch thick but ended up wanting something thicker. I had agreed to make the snare drum as thick as I possibly can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The target would be 1.5 inches thick or thicker depending on how thick I got the blocks to after getting them square. The end result after routing was about 1.4 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the thickness of the snare drum, any screws that came with the hardware had to be replaced with longer ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something that I had been thinking about implementing was routing the logo through one of the staves. This idea was more for a snare drum that would be 0.500″ or less but we managed to route a logo on one of the staves. It isn’t through the stave but is still better than stamping it on the Purple Heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a phone call with Ian, we finalized the rest of the hardware for the drum build. Ian supplied the heads and snare wire and I had to order in the rest. We discussed the lugs for his tall snare drum and decided to go with single mount lugs as I believe it would have a better visual appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
