New drum seat + Kit update
I know how much you love my constant making of stuff out of various cheap materials and low quality workmanship, well i've got something else now. In about march (i think) i got a drum throne for like £30 which was fine until the seat broke:
ouch yeah. The stand is still fine though so i figured instead of buying some fancy pants roc 'n' soc seat or something i'd make my own! I went down to the local craft store, got myself some foam and stuck it on some leftover MDF i had from the desk build. Then i stuck the mount from the old seat onto it. So far i've ended up with this:
I reckon i might make it a better shape like a tractor style or something then maybe stick some fabric on it. Sadly i can't seem to find my favourite of all fabrics, the camo p) in my house so i dunno i could get anything really.
Edit: I've added a couple pics of my kit as it is currently, not quite the monster it used to be but as i said, that was really just for giggles, this is a lot more comfortable to play.
The finished article
The kit as it is now, just a boring old 1 up 2 down i'm thinking of making it a bit bigger again, but this time keeping it as 1 kick and having slightly more "managable" size rack toms. Something like this:
10, 12, 8 ,14, 16, 22 sorta thing. I used to want really huge drums but now i've figured what's the point? I'm happy with the tunings and they're loud enough as they are so standard sort of sizes will do me i reckon .
