themanoctave: First, we bought red oak plywood (4’x1”x8’) for the shell, a strip of solid mahogany (2”x1”x8’) for the frame/inside bracing, and a board of 3-ply, 1/8th” birch plywood (not shown). We also bought snare drum snares which I’ll discuss later. The oak and mahogany were cut in half to produce the two drums we were making (one for me and one for my friend). I’ll just talk about one drum...
