Well, my drum is done and it fought every bit along the way.
First, the woods hoop didn't fit because the lugs had to be offset because of the depth of the shell, therefore causing the strainer to rub the hoop. I routed out the side of the wood hoop to fit the strainer and touched up the wood hoop. Then, again with the wood hoops and tube lugs, the tension rods didn't line up. Went to Home Depot and bought spaces at $.25 a peice to move the lugs farther out from the shell. That fixed it up, but really, I should probably put another spacer on each lug, but I bought all Home Depot had. The drum finally got assembled and here it is my entry to the build off.
