Custom snares I've Built.

[bornslippin]

would you sell any of these?

[dashingjavi]

once you hear the jazz music at the start of the video, you know this is going to be some real pro hard as hell to make yourself stuff

[thislisa]

How does your custom acrylic stand up to your other snares?

[stewartbarnes15]

is the song fanfare for the common man? sounds fimiliar

[PicklesandFrogs]

@stewartbarnes15 Nope, its Rhapsody in Blue. But I do hear the similarities now!

[XxMAXYPADxX]

What did you use to drill the acrylic?

[PicklesandFrogs]

@XxMAXYPADxX They have drill bits designed for drilling into acrylic at Lowe's or Home Depot. Even Walmart I believe.

[thislisa]

I know Guerrilla gives great advice for working with acrylic but how was it for you. Was it trickier for drilling or more difficult in any way?

[PicklesandFrogs]

@thislisa The only tricky part was making sure the drill is straight. If not you could easily crack it.

[thislisa]

@PicklesandFrogs Thank you. That is good to know.

[planbskater565]

where do you get the acrylic shell??

[PicklesandFrogs]

@planbskater565 This one in particular I got it at DrumGearOnline.

[PicklesandFrogs]

@PicklesandFrogs Sorry I lied. I got that one straight from Keller shells.

[iequalztehgod]

What song is this?(:

[PicklesandFrogs]

@iequalztehgod Rhapsody in Blue.

[inline929]

Whats the average cost of making a snare like this? Also do you do all the bearing edges/drilling yourself? been thinking about making myself my own snare but I'm not sure yet

[PicklesandFrogs]

@inline929 average for me was about $400 and yea i did all the drilling and edges even the holes in the silver snare. Although I dont recommend you do if you have never done it.

[GuyNicknamedFille]

2:23 man awesome snare!!

[PownedByaPug]

can i please have your snare at 2:25 its awesome :D

[ConorSloane118]

why do people always use that blue tape????????

[PicklesandFrogs]

@ConorSloane118 Its painters tape. The sticky grade on that is very low. And it wont leave anything behind when you pull it off.

[ConorSloane118]

@PicklesandFrogs Oh thanks man!!!



[psturm11]

Fucking awesome dude, keep going :)

[db35m]

DW??????.LudWig?????......nah.­...I made my Own!

[TheBandElysium]

yeah they look good but next time lets hear wht they sound like

[PicklesandFrogs]

@TheBandElysium I did..look at my other videos. I'm using one of the snares.

[MMTPproductionz]

what material is that at 1:45 and wear could i get it?

[PicklesandFrogs]

@MMTPproductionz Its called Acrylic. You can get it at any drum building website (drumfoundry, drumgearonline, precisiondrumco, Keller Shells, etc..)

[128doe]

im assuming you bought the shell "premade" and then just put your own style of lugs, hoops, and throw offs on them? or did you actually make your shell.

[jackthedrummer96]

@128doe nope, i couldnt imagine him making an arylic shell. I built my own stave snare drum out of wood, it is alot harder to do than drill holes into a shell and screw lugs on... no offense. Those are beautiful drums but... i think hes getting too much credit for what he did.

[PicklesandFrogs]

@jackthedrummer96 Just to clarify..No I didn't build the shells. Although if I had the proper tools I could. Maybe except for the Acrylic Shell. Besides there are only like 3 comments asking if I built the shells myself. I don't really see much credit going towards me about that. Most Custom drum Companies don't even make their own shells.

[buddyrichjunier]

how do you bend the acrylic in to a round shell with out breaking it do you heat it up. and where do you even get acrylic like that

[DavidFletcher49]

how do you build these?

[swirle13isme]

around how much does one snare cost you to make?

[BeggingForGT]

Sick snares man!

[saucytool]

on your amber acrylic. if your tube lugs are 2 1/4 inches then how long are your tension rods? Are RCI acrylics the best?

[southnich14]

I love guerrilla drum making they fuckin rock

[mastersecalo]

are you selling any of them?

[percussivepurcell]

ur snare drum made me jizz in my pants

[PicklesandFrogs]

[brady5991]

how thik are acrilic shells?

[danmasterdan]

some of these snares are beautiful, i'm sure i'm not the only one that would be very interested in buying one, well done!

[anarcy7777u]

how did u do the bearing edge, or were these pre done? im currently building a snare for my GCSE project and what it to be as high quality as possible.

[TeenageTitFreaks]

nice! what kind of drillhead do you use for drillin the holes in acrylic shells?

[PentucketXC05]

That wouldn't happen to be a Tama Starclassic set would it? I see it in the first final picture... haha. I have the same kit!

[bearlooter]

wow love it man .. how cheap are those plastic clear shells? 14inc about

[PicklesandFrogs]

it depends. Cheapest would be around $40 for a good shell.

[yoshiskato]

@PicklesandFrogs what about the sound of the snares?

[TheChakaguy]

That's true

[TheChakaguy]

You should get a clear head for the orange snare. good job!

[jonnyboulanger]

single ply too

[Acrylicdrums]

@TheChakaguy Clear heads on acrylic look more asthetic, but the coated (especially evans reverse PC) sound much better.

[BBSroll]

i see u went with the trick throw off good choice

[proto35]

i love the acrylic one

[PinataLove2083]

uuummm I wanna marry you snare drums so sexy ...

[futurerev21]

[PicklesandFrogs]

@futurerev21 I got the shell directly from Keller and the parts from drumgearonline

[KYOOBED]

@PicklesandFrogs i think he's talking about the acrylic (clear) shells

[edenmeden]

Wow, how do they sound?

Because I'd seriously buy one of those :O

[PicklesandFrogs]

They sound great! Check out my other vids to hear for yourself.

Very talented craftsman. I personally suggest you make this a full time profession.

[GuerrillaDrumMaking]

Very Nice! And thanks so much for repping the Video.

How are things? Any projects lately?

[PicklesandFrogs]

Thanks man. And no problem. Just my way of saying thanks for making a great instructional DVD. Yes I have a 16x14 floor tom and a 14x6 snare drum. I just completed a rack tom. I'll probably post a vid here soon.

[Pandanobear]

I would pay incredible money for a 13 inch Green acrylic snare wit tube lugs and black harware. tube lugs <3

[Matt777shxt]

[real1acer]

@jamesmct01 lol i noticed that too haha.

[mmedina1114]

is it possible to paint a steel snare?

[PicklesandFrogs]

Hmm maybe not paint but powder coat. I've never seen a painted steel snare. I'm sure its possible though with some special paint.

[PicklesandFrogs]

2" drill bits.

[pressrec1]

How deep are the beds???

[pressrec1]

[PicklesandFrogs]
