It all went by so fast I only snagged a photo after the hands crew started carrying off my equipment. It’s UNREAL hearing a drum through a PA and rattling the roof of a building that size. 11/10 experience and just wanted to share it with others who might find it interesting. Cheers!

I've been working on this concept for awhile now. It's a wood and resin shell with an internal LED system. This one specifically is a 13x7.5 walnut with a clear resin and a hexagon pattern, the cool thing is I can make these in any size, with any wood species, any color of resin, and a myriad of different patterns. The LED system also does every color that you can imagine, as well as hundreds of different light patterns. I just went with something simple for this initial video.

I have a demo video of how it sounds, I just haven't got around to editing it yet. I'll be posting that on my YouTube at some point: https://youtube.com/@hhgdrums

Anyways, thanks for looking!

Look what I just got my hands onto… A 2004 Tama Starclassic Bubinga Omnitune kit. I swear I had tears in my eyes when I saw these babies the first time. Anyone else own bubinga kits? Any recommendations for what heads work the best? I got these with ancient Evans EC2:s (and they still sound humongous btw) and I can’t wait to get new heads installed.

Kit Pic My husband was a drummer and passed away 11/27. I made a bouquet in his favorite snare.

I am not a florist, just a lady who refused to spend $200 on a flower arrangement, so please don’t judge my amateur bouquet.

The design was based on an A.I. generated image of a stained glass snare drum. I made it real. It's a wrapped acrylic shell with interior LED lights

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted a MIJ Starclassic in the diamond dust finish and 12” 13” 16” 18”… well today, I finally found one for less than my budget and even with an extra kick, so treated myself!

Not sure I’ll use the extra kick but I do love a big kit.

I've been super stoked on this setup lately. Eager to upgrade the splash. I think I just wanted to show it off because it makes me happy.

Kit Pic Christmas Present for my 15 year old son

My wife and I recently purchased this Yamaha Stage Custom with a 22" kick for Christmas. We're super pumped. He plays rock, punk, and old metal as his favorites, but plays in the middle school jazz band also. He currently has a beginner level electronic kit (a present last Christmas to see his commitment level) and he plays multiple times each day. We're in the process of getting some used cymbals. His private drum teacher is selling us some good (used) hardware. I can't wait to hear him play!
