Another horribly engraved drum!

[esooy]

Yes, I stoop to clickbait! HAH! This little beaut will show off at the Chicago show, in addition to some of my other Medallion Brass series drum.

A bigger pic, shows the engraving better.

nice...

If that's "horrible" I can't imagine the detail on one you're proud of!

 

[Fat Drummer]

You kidding me? That sucks!!! All I know is if I had that kind of talent and skill, it would be on EVERY board and thread on the entire freakin' interwebs! Just amazing!

 

[esooy]

Thank yew one and all!

 

[Salem street drums]

Beautiful!

Well, it was a nice drum, then you ruined it with all that horrible engraving. I'm pretty sure no one will ever want to buy that drum after what you did.

Look, I feel bad for you, so I'm going to try to help. I'll give you $100 for the drum just to help you recoup some of your costs.

Gorgeous work as always Eric!!

Way too much for such an abomination.

Way too much for such an abomination.

Like I said, I feel bad for you. I mean, you scratched the hell out of that beautiful black nickel shell!

 

[REF]

I've not seen your work before. At first I thought it was computerized but, I wondered how a process could work on the curve of the shell. Then I looked closer and began to see the tiny variations. Done by hand! That's pretty amazing. I don't know what kind of stencil or whatever you follow but, that looks like surgeon-level accuracy.

So disappointed in this piece, Eric, I always thought you did better work than this . . . just send this abomination to me and I will destroy it for you at my gigs . . . NAD

beauteous!....curious how long does it take you to do a given drum, and is it all hand work or machine?

This is all by hand, no machines involved! This engraving takes about 6 hours.
