bass drum practice pad

my vacation starts today and after waking up, not having breakfast yet and 1.5 hours in the AM, im already 90% complete on my new bass drum practice pedal.

i made it out of scrap 1/2 MDF from my drum molds. the beater impact zone is still clamped because i didnt have the right size of nails at the moment. i used shoe nails and lots and lots of glue to hold the piece together. actually, the glue bond will be stronger than if the pieces were just nailed together.

then my poor rubber drum mat got butchered, i needed a small piece of rubber to put on the beater impact zone so i took it out from one of the corners of my drum mat. i still need a small piece of 1/4" thick plywood to cut the pedal mounting plate thingy.

belated 1 year anniversary to me!

wow its been a year. time really does fly.

its been quite here lately. i've been busy, lots of IT projects here and there and then formed a band. plus im at the verge of leaving my work as libis and starting a new life as a makati boy at last (though i dont really like working in makati).

only 7 days to go and i will have my first vacation in 5 years. what better way to spend vacation than to build new stuff.

demn, i actually have to finish a pair of hoops...
