Defacto Custom Drums - I'm Bringin' Sexy Black... YEA!

From Ontario: 26x18,13x9,16x16 6 ply maple shells with 12 ply maple claw style wood hoops.... oh ya, and a 14x6.6 black brass snare with single flanged hoops. Recorded in my living room with an Audix D6 on the kick (NO muffling on the kick) and 2 Apex 435 Mics overhead... Bonzo licks are right at home on this beast!

why?

@Fusionfreakdrummer ...because (?)

I am from Ontario, Canada. I do refinish drums but most of my kits are custom orders built from scratch.

How do you tune all your drums?

[defactodrums]

With a drum key!

..but seriously, for toms i tune the top heads first, medium tight and then the bottoms a little higher. 2 ply on top and 1 ply on the bottom. for a floor tom sometimes i put the bottom head tuned lower than the top, you lose volume but mics love it.

for a snare i tune the top head medium, you can push down in the middle of the drum about half an inch. the bottom head is tuned lower to get that "clangggg" sound or tighter to get more of a crisp thing.

I make the wood hoops so that they are the same height as regular steel hoops on smaller drums. 14" drums and bigger i let them get a tad taller but its less of a deal cause the diameter is bigger. you can see the hoops on the 13 tom are quite low but the 16 is a little higher.
