OK. I'll have to check them when I get home. Drummaker won't work on my work computer.

That's a fact.... of course, lots of custom builders are really just assemblers when you consider what's really going on.
I dissagree...the fact youre using a keller shell doesnt mean you didnt build the drum...you have to measure it like crazy, you have to get the edges right...buying drum with edges and holes drilled is assembling. put the parts on. having a raw shell is a different story. the time alone to get a good finish is worth most custom drum prices...
But for materials you could also try www.drumfoundry.com
Keep us updated on the progress.

 Re: Building Drums
[quote="Scogar"]I was thinking about maybe trying this, because I have heard from some that it is a great way to save some money but still get a custom sound. I was wandering how many of you guys have tried it, how did it go, and how would you recommend doing it?
I am thinking about trying this but it mite be hard but idk.

yeah i actually plan on building my next kit, i think im going through Drumfoundry.com for my kick shell, and bestdrumdeals.com for everything else.
im doing the edges, lug holes, my lil venting system, etc..
here are the sizes
20x20 kick
8x10, 8x12rack toms and 14x14 floor toms
7x13 snare.
the finish right now is gonna be black/ebony satin stain.
and right now its only costing me about 1300 compared to everyone else i got a quote from. ohh that price doesnt include shipping. but everyone i asked was asking about 2400-3000 range. so hahah, im going the easy way out, and i actually enjoy building and staining shells.
its should be fun

if anyone is thinking of ordering drum shells from drumfoundry.com
think again, it took for ever for the shells to get to me and they had to ship them piece by piece cause the order wasnt completed! it sucked!
but if you want acrylic snare shells? go to Gold N Times, as discussed before! but also, www.drummaker.com has a line of acrylic shells called
AQUA BOMB, and they are the same colors and considerably cheaper than RCI shells. i go with aqua bomb evertime now!
