I purchased this shell and lugs from Champagne Drums in Winnipeg (they sell excellent aluminum and brass lugs and other drum components, and it's nice to be able to buy Canadian). 7x14". 9 outer plies birch, 3 inner plies walnut, and re-rings. I finished it with a green stain and shellac as a topcoat. Purchased some of the newly developed "S hoops", which are intended to provide the benefits of diecast hoops without the weight - or cost, for it.
UPDATE - 3.30.11 - I was never 100% happy with the final finish on this, so sanded it back to the stain and am putting a new shellac finish on the exterior. Hope to publish some new pics this weekend.
