    Thank you for posting matworsh! I love seeing complete kits, and tbh I didn’t put one of these celebration kits together myself, so it’s cool to see.

    Any other questions about the kits? Just post here and I will answer promptly. I’d prefer to answer questions about this kit here in this thread than through email because your question might help another customer out too.

    All kits have been shipped. All tracking numbers have been emailed to the email address you entered when purchasing, please check that email!
    Thank you everyone for your support and patience. This was a fun experiment and fun way to celebrate. I will probably never offer these kits again at this price but I am considering selling another run of them closer to Christmas this year.
    I will post some videos and assembly tips here tomorrow, so check back.

    16 of 20 orders have now shipped. The first batch should be arriving today. I will ship the remaining 4 orders tomorrow. I am going to work through the emails this afternoon to get tracking to everyone.
    Thank you for your patience with this special kit. I underestimated the time it would take to get all of these out and I realize we are approaching one month since they went up for sale.
    I will continue to update this thread with some assembly videos over this weekend.

    Glad you like the kit! No need for glue, but if you want to glue you can go for it, just make sure everything is lined up and straight

    Update: these kits will begin shipping out on Monday the 8th. I hope to have every order shipped by the following Friday.
    Will be posting videos and assembly tips here throughout next week.
    Thank you everyone

    in reply to: Rim Questions #5491

    These rims are handmade and vary in size +/-1/4”
    Average dimensions are 12” diameter, 2 1/4” tall, 7/16” thick.
    I do not recommend this kit with intent of using a tone ring or a standard size drum head/hoop. Besides the dimension tolerances, there is also the non-standard neck to rim joint which may prevent the function of hoops and tension rings etc.

    9 MB seems to be as large as I can go for file size on the forums. Hoping it’s large enough for pictures and sound clips if not videos. Thank you
