			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m thinking I might want to build a gong drum.  I&#39;m looking at doing a 14x18.  I know, they are usually 20&quot; or 22&quot;, but I always seem to be
short on space...especially at the size of the clubs we play.  As far as for the lugs, I was looking at Pearl&#39;s new Refererence line, and it appears that
they swivel.  They could be special ordered I assume, for a price <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif">.  I could use bass drum claws on the tension rods... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So, I was sitting in my truck driving one day thinking about drumming (what else) when I had an idea for a most useful product.  Without giving too much away,
what do you think of this as a potential product and would you buy it if it were publicly available?
<br>
<br>
The product is a system for muffling/cutting overtones from drums.  Before you say there are too many of those already, I think I&#39;ve found a far superior
way that eliminates all the problems of previous products on the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The location of vent holes seems to me to be a notable contributing factor to the overall sound of a drum. Does anyone have any knowledge as to the ideal
placement with regards to the depth and diameter of a tom shell?
<br>
As far as bass drums go, I&#39;ve seen multiple vents placed symmetrically around the circumference in a line closer to the resonant head, and I&#39;ve also
seen just one vent. Does it relate to the size of the bass drum? I know that some guys think that if there&#39;s a... ]]></description>

			<link>http://drumrap.yuku.com/topic/3903/t/Wood-hoopd-piccolo-snare.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi all,
<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anyone has either built or even seen a piccolo snare with wood hoops. I&#39;m talking real piccolo, 3 inches deep.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve got a 3x13 Pearl Maple piccolo shell, and I love the shell but hate the drum. I&#39;m stripping it off and starting fresh, and want to know if
it&#39;s possible to fit wood hoops on it, and still fit the strainer on the side.
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.
<br>
Scott ]]></description>

fiberglass lined Luan wood shells.  Very porous wood.  Would I be better off gluing the wrap on the shells or using the tape method?  If I use the glue, should
I put one coat on to seal the wood and then install the wrap with a second coat?

Also, I want to use drum key tension rods on the bass drum.  Do I measure from the threaded... ]]></description>

I have been reading through the forums pretty hardcore for the last couple of months, trying to prepare to take on my first adventure of building a snare drum.
