OK IF YOUR LOOKING TO MAKE A SNARE DRUM 14" ITS NOT TOO HARD THERES A LOT OF HARDWARE AVAILABLE SPECIALLY TUBE LUGS OR DIFFERENT YOU CAN ORDER YOU A SHELL WHICH IS SIZE AND DEPTH NOW IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE PARTS OF SNARE DRUM,ALL YOU NEED IS A SOFT METER AND A TOP RULER YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU MARK PENCIL FOR YOUR LUGS YOU WANT TO CHECK THEM LIKE SEVEN TIMES WITH THE SNARE AND BUTT PLATES HOLES THEY HAVE TO BE VERY EVEN THIS IS CRUCIAL,AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRESPONDED WITH YOUR HOOP HOLES,THAT IS THE ONLY CRUCIAL I MEAN BEFORE YOU DRILL IF ITS ONLY STRAIGHT ONE LUG EACH THEY HAVE TO BE PERFECTLY STRIGHT TOP AND BOTTTOM I MEAN VERY STRIGHT DRAFTINGLY OK ANOTHER CRUCIAL IF YOUR USING TRIPLE FLANGE HOOPS OR DIECAST FROM TOP OF YOUR LUGS THEY HAVE TO BE MAXIMUM OF 1 1/8" TO THE HOOP HOLE,DONT GET MORE THAN THAT OR ELSE IT WILL BE LOOSE AND HARDER TO TUNE AND IT WONT DO TIGHTLY EVERY TIME YOU TURN,IF YOUR GETTING HOOPS RODS AND LUGS GET IT ON ONE COMPANY SO THAT ITS PERFECTLY FITTED,IF YOU CAN GET STAINLESS STEEL TENSION RODS AND SOLID BRASS RECIEVERS ON LUGS FOR ALITTLE BIT MORE MONEY,THE TUNING WILL BE PERFECTLY SMOOTH CLINE,REGULARS ARE FINE ALSO BUT DONT EXPECT NICE SMOOTH CLINE,YOU JUST MADE YOURSELF A DRUM COMPANY,THEN WHAT YOU NEEDTO WORRY ABOUT IS THE FINISH YOU CAN OIL OR WRAPS OR IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PAINT NICELY,HOPE IT HELPS!
