Cliff Goldmacher over at Serve The Song recently posted a great article called Recording Your Indie Album: a Pre-Production Checklist. This is a blog I read frequently and would encourage all songwriters, band members and alike to check out. You can read the article here.

Guerilla Drum Making

I just wanted to give a big shout out to Guerilla Drum Making. Thanks to them I made a custom snare drum with fantastic results for just the cost of the parts. I am not good with crafts or handiwork, so if I can do it, anyone can. The DVD should not be your only source for advice, but the DVD’s companion website gives plenty of helpful links that nearly guarantee your success.

It was a scary but rewarding process. I’m not rushing into the custom drum-making business, so I don’t know when I’ll make another drum, but for a $40 DVD, I saved hundreds from ordering a custom drum.
