Decorate your drum room with a custom drum clock. You know you want to!



Ok… here’s the skinny:

Contest: Send us pictures of the drum set or snare drum you made (or both) from Guerrilla Drum Making techniques. If you re-vamped an old kit, re-wrapped old shells, painted an old set, or are even STILL IN THE PROCESS of working on your drum making project….STILL SEND US PICTURES!!!!
Days: The contest lasts until January 1st, 2010.
Winner: It’s a three step process: ALL participants are put into a raffle. We’ll draw your name. You win. It’s as easy as that.
The Prize: A 12″ Wall Drum Clock. Real shell, real hardware, and it really works!

With that being said, lets get down to the four contest rules.
#1) Send us Three pictures: One pic of your set, snare, or project. One pic at a different camera angle. And one pic of YOU with your project. If you really really don’t want to be in the pic… we’ll let it slide. Just send us the other two pics.

#2) Good Pics: Any digital camera will work fine. Please… no blurry photos or camera phone pics.

#3) You Must Be A Guerrilla Drum Making Customer: When you e-mail us your THREE pictures, put the first number of the bar code (back of the DVD case) in the subject line of the e-mail. “But wait” you say, “which number is the first one?”

#4) Tell us your info: In the e-mail that you’re sending us your pics in, tell us your NAME and LOCATION.

And that about wraps it up. See… isn’t that the easiest contest you’ve ever entered? Let me recap the contest in one single sentence. Enter to win a cool wall drum clock by e-mailing us three good quality pictures of your drum set, snare or drum making project by January 1st.

Remember to include the first number of the bar code in the subject line of the e-mail, and send us your Name and Location.

Please send your e-mail to John@guerrilladrummaking.com

Good luck and please comment below with anything!

HELP: Need Your Thoughts on A Virtual Drum Set Maker…

By John Dutra | September 25, 2009


Would A Virtual Drum Set Help You Out?

Would A Virtual Drum Set Help You Out?



One thing I’ve been thinking about lately for the Guerrilla Drum Making homepage is a virtual drum set maker. I get constant e-mails about “how can the Guerrilla Drum Making DVD help me? What finishes does the DVD show?”
?????? ????? ????
Well I had an idea… not an original one, that would put those questions and concerns to rest. And hopefully this solution will also give people some ideas for their custom drum sets, as well as help them visualize what the DVD can really do for them.

What if Guerrilladrummaking.com had an option to “Virtually Build Your Drum Set” ?

Anyone could click options to change the following:


1) Drum type (tom drum, snare, floor tom, bass drum)

2) Finish types from the DVD as well as “cross finish” ideas (such as a veneered drum shell with an abalone drum wrap stripe in the middle (chapter 4 and chapter 6), or a sunburst color fade over an exotic veneer (chapter 5 and chapter 4), etc etc.)

3) Lug type and lug offset or layout type (in line lugs, 50% offset, 5/8″ offset, etc.)
?????? ????? ????
4) Tension Rod Length (option to use “Standard Length” or “Alternate Length” ?????? ????? ????


The whole point of the “Virtual Drum Set Maker” would offer a visual solution to what the Guerrilla Drum Making DVD can offer. Combined with the drum making articles, drum making cost spreadsheets, I think this vould be very useful in helping people step into drum making and visualize their custom kit.

What are your thoughts?

I need your help… please comment below and tell me what you think.
