My drum set needed a low snare drum, so I did a floor tom snare drum conversion. The DIY project started with a 13" tom to which I added floor tom legs and snares with a strainer. The tom was a Pearl Masters Custom, so I bought all Pearl hardware from Drum Factory Direct.
The inspiration came from a combination of feeling bad about leaving such a nice drum on the shelf for so long and seeing Larnell Lewis use a low snare drum on his setup.
This video shares what I learned converting the tom into a low snare drum and the steps I took to complete the project.

I use a fine file to make my snare beads. Love the video.

Beautiful! Thanks for the video man!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Very cool project! I'm in the process of turning two toms into snares....a 70's Ludwig 14x10 and a Sawtooth 13x10 :)

@RhythmNotes 4 года назад

Awesome! I almost put away the floor tom snare today but decided not after playing it for a couple of minutes. It’s just so much fun.

Cool video. I'm not a snom guy. But they have thier place. A few head suggestions. Aquariun studio x heads are perfect for that wet thuddy fat sound. Also Evans hydraulic. Same sound ,different build process.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I planned to buy a reproduction/re-enactment American Revolutionary War marching snare since its a 16x16 and its super loud lol. But hey this is still dope. Nice work!

@RhythmNotes Год назад

Thanks! ... the Revolutionary War snare would be really cool.

Enjoyed the video however snare bed section was glossed over, how were the edges cut??? Link to process?

@RhythmNotes 7 месяцев назад

I glossed over it because the way I did it was hacky. I recommend removing the bottom head of a snare drum and place a straight edge along the bearing edge near the snare bed. Then measure the depth of the snare bed to apply a similar dept to your floor tom bearing edge. I would use masking tape on the outside of the drum shell to mark the depth and extent (width on the circumference) of the snare bed. Then, use an exacto knife to remove the tape in the area you want the snare bed to be. This establishes a guide for sanding the bearing edge. Ultimately, I would use sander to create the bed and use masking tape as a guide based on measurements from an existing snare bed from another drum. Sorry if this is unclear or hard to follow.

. @RhythmNotes Thank you, I will give it a try, I did find a youtube link that describes it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Slb1BJHm2TM.html

That video demonstrates exactly what I was trying to describe.

@dogsauce19 3 года назад

Great video! What length of snare wire did you go with?

@RhythmNotes 3 года назад

It’s 13” drum so I used the Pearl 13” 20 strand wire (S029N). Drum Factory Direct had I everything I needed.

I thought of this and then looked it up and saw that someone else had already done it because they thought of it and then looked it up and saw that someone else had already done it.

I did the same.

I've tried the conversion on a 12x9 Saturn tom. Sounds great! Check out the demo if you want ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZI3ayZKj4ik.html

@RhythmNotes Год назад

With the snare cranked the deep shell gives the sound a nice body. Great job!

@matthewsaxman1028 3 года назад

You couldn't play it just once by itself, no audio effects?

@RhythmNotes 3 года назад

Are you trying to sample it?

@matthewsaxman1028 3 года назад

@@RhythmNotes No. Considering building my own. You go to all that work to make it, and make a video, and then never really show us how it sounds...

@RhythmNotes 3 года назад

Send me an email kevin@rhythmnotes.net and I’ll send you a clip with the drum sans EQ, compression ... raw audio. I made the clip, but it didn’t make it into the video and I have no idea why.
