I want a gong drum and was thinking to build one myself.
I guess I can get a used 20" shell on ebay and a 22" hoop, but can anyone point me to lugs and holders that would work for this?
I would like to mount the drum in my Pearl Icon rack as well as have some kind of suspension system(RIMS).
Alternatively who offers a new one for a reasonable cost?
Does it make a big difference to the sound to make the head 2" oversize?
The project obviously gets easier if just a 20" bass drum can be used.
Another option could be to put some tom holders on a Pearl 20"x14" marching bass drum.
Help me guys!
