Lenny is based in Ayrshire and bought some wooden hoops for a snare project quite a while ago - Here's another little project he's been working on: |

So
Lenny, we finally get to see your project! Wow that is worth waiting for. |

Cool - So why make your own kit? |
| After recovering and renovating a few old kits I wanted to build a drum from scratch so I tried a couple of snares which went well. I then decided to tackle a full kit - I loved a DW orange sparkle kit that I saw in a show in Glasgow and decided to base my kit loosely on the one that I had seen. | |

Blimey! Drum Workshop is a tough act to compete with? |
| Yeah
but the best bit of all is that they sound fantastic now that they
are completed. I only need another boom arm to mount on the floor tom stand to hold my 18" 2002 crash - and she's all done. |
|
|
So
a complete kit built and now I expect you will call it a day! |
| Not
quite - After my wife went to bed, I set the new kit up in the lounge
to take the pictures - And
I'm currently building three new snares including the stave shell
and refinishing two others - I will obviously let you see the results
of those when they are done. |
|
|
Ooooh
stave shells - I've tried those with congas - a lot of work involved - Anyway good luck with that! |
| All the best -Lenny |
