I just got this email from a friend in Hungary and wanted to share his experience with you! Bart’s first drum set is a beauty:
Bart did an incredible job on building his very first custom drum set. Great job Bart!
Below is an email conversation/interview that I had with Bart. He has lots of great drum building tips so make sure to read all of it! Continue Reading....
I will be on tour with Aaron Ivey for the next 2 weeks. This tour will be very cool, the show is a mixture of music, story telling, and multimedia. We will be playing in people's living rooms, backyards, and patios. Our set for these shows will be somewhat broken down so in preparation for this tour I assembled a small percussion set-up. It consists of a hi-hat using 18" crashes, another 18" crash for a washy ride, a 10" popcorn snare, a 14" djembe for a bass drum. I was using random things to put underneath the djembe to position it correctly, but then it occurred to me that I make drums so I should be able to make a stand for the djembe. This is what I came up with.
This stand can be taken apart to fit in my hardware case just like any other stand. It's made of scrap wood laying around in my shop. I stained it and put non-slip shelf liner on the top and bottom.
Come check out this kit at a house show!
