my first snare - born sept 3 05

i just completed my first snare drum last saturday (sept 3). its a 14"x5" Keller maple shell with white and flourescent pink fade lacquer finish. the lugs, snare wire and shell were ordered online from DSH (www.drummaker.com) while the hoops and strainer where bought cheap from Lazer at SM Manila.

boy do i have quite a roller coaster ride trying to finish it. i only have a couple of pics while i was painting it and i was not able to fully photo document the process because i dont have a digital camera.

i wish i had a digital camera...

believe me when i say that this image doesnt do justice to the finish. the flourescent pink is just ridiculously difficult to capture on the camera
