I've been excited to post this, finally got it tuned up right and mounted on my kit and went to town on it. I may be a little in love. First off, this is a DIY and a half here. The idea here was to make use of this cheap 12" tom I got with a snare stand. Here's the thread on the tom...

So with the help of Kevin from Crazy 8 drums we turned this shy little cheapie rack tom into... The Party Drum!! The idea here was to make something unique and fun using mostly scrap parts. The jingles were from an old tambourine that gave its life for the cause, the paint is a dollar can or spray from Home Depot with a cheap flat clear. The only new parts are the mount, strainer and the brass draw catches.
Kevin would like me to remind everyone that this is in no way a representation of his quality standards, it was more us entertaining ourselves. This baby sounds great though! It's like a timbale snare with jingles on it. lots of fun!
