Hope you like the autumn theme. I thought is was fitting to place drums that celebrate nature's beauty alongside nature's seasonal wonderfulness. A selection of solid steam bent, segmented, & stave snares, c/w a trio of stave/steambent toms. Enjoy!

Is this a guess how many leaves there are and win a Guru snare thread?
 
I hope you aren't considering those little pebbles your "ROCK RISER"! He,he,he,he.
You know what I am about on this. :) Those are beautiful pics and beautiful drums. I wish you guys great success.
I will take the eighth one down.

Yes! There's a problem though, the bloody things keep falling off ;)

Good one Sticksy! No, my rock riser is made up of 3 ton+ boulders & weighs in at close to 600 tons total. It also has it's own waterfall. Let's see if Neil can top that :) :) :)
 
I would like that first drum. Let's just call it international diplomacy, and you can write it off. I am the Mayor after all.
 
i really like the badge you use. i know its a small detail, but i am a big fan of small details that really make an instrument. almost everyone else put a big metal plate with their name on it, but you just have the words as the badge itself and i love that, simple but perfect.

Thanks LB, I think it has a simple elegance too. Of course, as with everything, it doesn't appeal to everyone.

Very pretty KIS.
I liked the looks of every one.
Even the hybrid purpleheart one? You modern dude you :)

For the sake of diplomacy, of course, we could, except for one tiny detail, IT'S MINE! Sorry Grunt, when trying all these beauties, it immediately spoke to me. It had a super bright woodiness that I didn't have in my other drums. I couldn't resist it's charms.
 
What is the third picture down?
It's an evangkol solid steam bent shell with ash rerings & segmented evangkol scolloped hoops. This is the snare that Lutz really liked, in fact, he said it was the best snare drum he had ever played. Like all our choices, sometimes, you just find something that speaks to you. It's a super hard wood, that's pretty difficult to obtain in that quality. Tone wise, it's walnut on steroids, & that's weird, because evangkol is very hard, & walnut is pretty soft.
 
Fourth from the bottom has a very interesting hoop on it.
I have never seen hat before, did you design it yourself and what is it made of? diecast?

That natural finish kit looks amazing btw :)
 
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I'd be there if it wasn't for that confounded Atlantic Ocean. Someday Andy, someday..
 
Wow!..beautiful drums you got there!...especially like the first two..and the single flange hooped snare..and the one above it and the one below it and the one beside it..and..oh well you get my gist...they're all nice!...

It is very pretty. Even looks like Walnut.
 
Those are beautiful, thanks for posting!
 
Ohhh dear God, that's almost a sensory overload on drum porn.

I was all goo-goo over those wood hoops when I saw the single-flanged metal hoops with the barrel claws on there. Jiminy! That's a beautiful collection there Andy.

Any hope of asking you to add some descriptions by the pictures? Dimensions, material, construction ect.

*pestering questions to follow*

Does Mr. Guru (what is his name anyway?) make his own metal hoops? How about those lugs? How does the strength differ from a segmented wood hoop and a ply one?
