- In this informative 5 minute video, you'll see, from start to finish, how Seven Six Drum Company builds a 6x14 purpleheart stave snare drum. Starting witrh raw wood, then build the shell, finish it, and drill for hardware. Note that in this video, I did not film the cutting of the snare beds…that occurs just before drilling and assembly.

Wow, ya gotta love the purpleheart, beautiful job.
Thanks so much
Now if only I had any one of these gigantic machines...
I wish I had a gigantic machine, too
@@SevenSixDrumCompany cheeky.
@@MadWinter889 seriously. I would love to have a huge CNC router to do all of the cutting and shaping for me via computer
That's a beautiful snare.
WOW it's astonishing how beautiful the finished product looks ! I need to look into one of these for myself.
Thanks. We’d be honored to build you a drum.
Great and clear video, which also includes dimensions, thanks. 🙂
Thanks
It's a pleasure watching your video Marc!
your drums isn't just an instruments, but a truly work of art!
thanks so much. I can say the same thing about YOUR drums. Gorgeous
These router jigs are pretty clever. Beautiful work.
Thanks
Good job. I'm a purpleheart lover myself :)
Unfreak'n believable. So nice.
Thanks!
I just bought the 8” X 14” Zebrawood snare from Mark. The drum is sick!
Awesome video.....great snare!
Thanks
Great build!!!❤
Thanks
Gorgeous drum, and that jig is brilliant! I really like those lugs. There’s a snare at a local shop that has those, and it seems like they should let the shell vibrate a bit more. I’ve been thinking of building a snare around a set of them. Cheers!
Very cool!
Nice piece. Interesting lugs, too.
Thanks
Good job,, 👍👍
awesome
This one time at band clamp....😊
SUPER
That turned out incredible!! I was wondering, what did you buff it with?
I use a random orbital sander with a Pad and Meguiar's G17220 Ultimate Compound, Color & Clarity Restorer, Scratch & Swirl Remover, followed by a coat of Carnauba Wax.
Is that stencil you have under the snare for spacing out the lugs available for purchase? Where do you find that?
use a 18" round floor sander sandpaper.
Good idea, but I like the versatility of a square format. Thanks.
Love the Jig for milling inside and outside. Is that your design? I use a lathe but there is good bit of vibration on thinner shells - thinking about moving to a router jig and looking for ideas. Beautiful drums!
Look up the “koko jig” for drum building
Wow awesome build! Which finish did you spray on?
I use Prestec high gloss 2 part polyester top coat with an MEKP hardener
Beautiful. One important part I missed was, what is the snare bed depth? A perfect routered edge is not good for the snare side.
I don’t show the snare bed cutting in this video. It’s moderate depth and wide enough to use 30 strand snares
Jeez. I wouldn't mind having a stack of those staves sitting around just to look at. Using wood that pretty is almost like cheating. :)
I’m lucky that there’s a great lumber yard nearby that sells a good deal of exotic species
Wow! A bit more than a Lego build...
Wow!!! I’m drummer and carpenter, and really would like to do this soon! Do you know anywhere where I can get plans to build the jig system? Thank you and beautiful work.
Thanks. Look up “koko jig for dum building”
Wow! Beautiful work!
Wait, so there's no 2nd round of lugs on the bottom? The resonant head just floats?
Sorry, I don’t understand the question
@@SevenSixDrumCompany Typically the vertical lug will have 2 horizontal attachments to the shell near the batter & resonant heads... this snare appears to only have 1 horizontal lug attachment.
These lugs are double ended single point lugs. As you can see in the final photos, tension rods enter the lug at both ends (double ended) and the lug contacts the shell at the lower nodal point (single point of contact). If you look at my website at 76drums.com, you will see that I use multiple types of lugs, some have a single point of contact, some have dual points of contact, and some have separate dual point contact lugs for the top and dual point contact lugs for the bottom.
@SevenSixDrumCompany Very cool man! I will check it out. Thank you.
Fantastic craftsman ship ! Is this a hobby or the start of a new business ? Customized drums & for that price will they sale for ?
Are you taking orders , if so - when ??
This video wasn’t shot at the start of the business, but yes…I’m a drum builder based in New Orleans. All of your questions can be answered by checking out www.76drums.com
Amazing drums at a surprisingly low price. I was expecting $2500+
beautiful shell but why the mix of hardware? looks like sonar , dw, remo and evans... odd but looks cool
I installed the hardware that the client chose. I have built many drums using the brass Champagne Drums lugs you see here, along with a DW or Trick or INde throw. Each of my drums is unique.
Is milling the inside of the shell necessary, i think it looks really cool
I’ve considered leaving it unmilled. I think the issue would be sound quality. Sound waves bouncing off of flat surfaces would sound different from sound waves bouncing off of a curved surface. Worth looking into, though
@@SevenSixDrumCompany
I wonder how this would sound with a thin shell and reinforcing rings milled into the bearing edges?
I’ve done that with my shells. Check out my Blue Bayou drum. That has a thin shell and reinforcing rings milled in
Excellent work, where can I get the template for the hardware holes? 3:20
I found mine by googling it…don’t remember the site
Where did you get the brass hardware from?
Champagne Drums
Did you come up with the router jigs yourself, or is there a pattern available anywhere?
Look up Koko Jig for stave snare
What thickness wood did you start with?
Most of the wood I use starts out at anywhere between 3/4” to 1” thick
I was wondering how I can get that plan for inches that appears in 3:16? How can I find it on the internet? THXS!
Google is your friend: www.google.com/search?q=layout+template+for+drilling+holes+in+drums&client=safari&sca_esv=8b0f0bb61a9c22c4&rls=en&sxsrf=ACQVn09Jz38nhlbHBvZI6kzYezRaGPvHnQ%3A1707501345975&ei=IWfGZayEO-KtqtsP9cSNiAk&ved=0ahUKEwjsmLiZ6p6EAxXilmoFHXViA5EQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=layout+template+for+drilling+holes+in+drums&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiK2xheW91dCB0ZW1wbGF0ZSBmb3IgZHJpbGxpbmcgaG9sZXMgaW4gZHJ1bXMyCBAhGKABGMMEMggQIRigARjDBEjTFFAAWMEScAB4AZABAJgBaKABiwqqAQQxNC4xuAEDyAEA-AEBwgIKECEYChigARjDBMICDBAhGAoYoAEYwwQYCuIDBBgAIEE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#cobssid=s
do you have any diagrams on where exactly to drill the holes for the hardware and how tall the snare is?
Yes, just Google “snare lug hole template”. Not sure what you mean by “how tall the snare is”
Nice drum. I would personally replace the polyester with something else, oil probably. As well the bearing edges looks bit strange, but might be just an optical illusion in the video (or your preference). But no snare beds...?
There certainly are wide and deep snare beds, I just don’t show that very exciting snare bed cutting process in the video. As for polyester/oil/polyurethane, etc, that’s totally personal preference. Not sure what you’re seeing with bearing edges…these are offset 45 degree edges
Where can I find lugs like that?
Champagne Drums
Hey, this may be asking for too much. But is it possible to get a supply list for that amazing finish. It is stunning.
Thanks.
It is 9 coats of 2K polyester, sprayed on with a high quality HPLV gun. Every 3 coats gets sanded before next 3 coats are applied. Final coats dry and get sanded up to 3000 grit. Then buffing with quality car buffing liquid, polishing, and waxing with a car waxing cream.
@@SevenSixDrumCompany what are the best buffing pads for this?
Hex-Logic Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Orange (6.5 Inch Pad made for 6 Inch backing plates
@@SevenSixDrumCompanythanks, what is the other pad?
@@PeytonOhOsborne buffing pad, but I don't use that anymore
Hi: for 20 staves 81 degrees? 360/20/3/2 = 9 dregrees in each side
Cheers
why ÷3?
Hey what's up my friend I just subscribed to your channel. Is there by any chance can you think you can customize a snare drum for me?? I want a 6x13" in black I want throw-offs on both sides.
Glad to build you a drum. Please fill out the info here so I can give you a quote: www.76drums.com/customsnaredrums
Which is Of the Thicknees on staves
Staves start out at about 0.82” and end up at about 0.60”
@@SevenSixDrumCompany thanks
How much is a snare drum like that?

Beautiful drum but no playing demonstration?
Yes, there are performance videos of all of the standard drums I build. Here’s the video for this drum: th-cam.com/video/aHj_8S6-s-M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pEJaxOZ1O1L14kOR
La vendes??
El tambor d'aquest vídeo era una construcció personalitzada per a un client. Podeu veure tots els meus tambors a la venda a www.76drums.com
Vent hole?
It is 1/2”
@@SevenSixDrumCompany perfect!
Cual es el grosor de la madera?
Final thickness is about 1/2 inch
@@SevenSixDrumCompany gracias pero digo el tablón de madera para cortar
Haber si nos enteramos amigo,yo estoy igual...supongo que serán 2cm...de grosor en bruto.Lo que al final lija la fresadora es poquita cantidad...sale mejor...menos margen de error.GRACIAS
step1-9: this isn't so bad, i could probably do this. step 10 install in jig and mill............dammit!
was looking beautiful, until you got to the asymmetrical hardware.
…and yet, many drummers have custom ordered that exact setup because they love it, so…
Noble & Cooley snare drums use a similar one point offset lug configuration.
All just a matter of taste and or vision. We all like different concepts. This company is really cool. Well crafted drums!
Yeah... beautiful drum, but that hardware triggers my ocd
I'd have a whole kit like that
Black hoops.
Gold lugs.
Chrome rods.
...seems legit.
Very legit...and exactly what the client requested. I build drums for drummers, and use the hardware they request. Thanks for your input.
I think you mean you sprayed polyurethane? Polyester went out of fashion in the 70s
No, sir. I use 2k polyester clear coat, which is the same substance that most of the large drum corporations use. Though it is much more difficult to work with than water or oil-based polyurethane and more difficult to clean up, It offers a high gloss and very effective durable protection against the elements and abuse. Viva la 70s!!!
Everything was going great till you installed those hideous black hoops. Also the interior show should have been clear-coated.
We specialize in hideous hoops. Also, clear coating the interior is not a common practice. It causes sound waves inside the drum to bounce around too much, making it more difficult to control overtones
