Now you've done it, I'm wanting to do another build now. Find me a good Keller Shell for a 16" Tom, cause my 16" is a bunch of crap.

It's like a "rivet". I found some screw in types that I used. Then I put some Teflon Tape (again from Lowe's) on the threads to keep them from ever coming lose or rattling. Here is a picture of the drum.  And here is a picture of the air vents that I found.  Building your own drum is really not that hard with some know how. EDIT: damn, I should have dusted before I took the pic. LOL |

It's interesting they used such crude tools. C-clamps that look like they're from the 1970's? Would seem that they would use more appropriate methods such as a cabinetmaker's screw with some calls. And that router table was about as crude as possible, too... Wow... I would have loved to see this from within DW's factory! |

Why they chose Grover is beyond me unless it is that DW and the likes, Pearl, Ludwig have become so "automated" that it doesn't resemble "hand made drums" like Grover and Pork Pie.  |

Beautiful floor tom, Rudge. Yeah, I could try reusing the lugs, however they are of a cheap quality and if an upgrade is required I may end up with a re-drill. Not that the re-drill would be a big deal as I once did that to place Pearl lugs on an old Ludwig bass shell. My snare is rebuilt from an old Ludwig marching drum that I cut down (Oyster Shell wrapped).

You can get Keller to pre-drill the lug holes according to your specs. For a 16 inch tom I would not recommend anything less than 8 lugs. 6 will do but come on. LOL Thanks for the complement.  |
