Made my own pancake gong drum.
So I picked up a 22 inch bass drum for 20 bucks that I stripped apart, cut, sanded, finished with a stain. I had a couple different 22 inch heads sitting around. I had a wooden hoop and a metal hoop. For some reason, it sounds more snappy with the metal hoop I think.
Either way, tell me what you think. As it look better with the metal hoop or the wooden hoop. I was thinking about stripping down the wooden hoop and staining the outside perimeter. I do wish it was a 20 inch, but the 22 still sounds pretty cool.
In all I paid 20 bucks for the bass drum, the stain I had sitting around, the drumheads I had sitting around, the only thing I had to pick up was a mount to put onto the drum which cost about 25 bucks. So I made this for a total of about 60 bucks.
