Here is the drawing to make the drums. I started with the bass drum as a proof of concept, and it turned out so well I will be able to use it. I cut the drum body parts from several thicknesses of various materials and 0.015" polystyrene worked the best. I use inexpensive for sale signs from the home improvement stores. I still need to cut out the remaining parts and assemble them. The laser helps, but it's still a tedious assembly. Also thinking about how to form the cymbals from brass sheets. I also want to build a "pvc pipe" drum for the set.

Yup, I made a few of the ES-335's! I personally own a couple full size Les Paul's, but my fingers don't like playing anymore. haha!

Drums looking unbeatable! Ha!
Played one of these in a community bateria de samba many years ago...
Primera 24" surdo. Dancing around strapped to one of these for a couple of hours is quite a workout, believe you me!
Can't wait to see how your kit turns out!

The level of detail on display here is breathtaking. Just the drawing you did for the various drums is amazing. And don't get me started on the guitars.
I pride myself on detailing but your stuff is on another level man!

I think I finished the basic 5 piece drums, now on to the cymbals and stands. I plan on routing links from the hidden servos under the deck to move the arms and legs. I have to make some drum sticks too. I did a quick test of the green screen behind the stage.

That one sitting on the riser is amazing. The sheen, and concentric ridges so good!
How did you make it? It may be the lighting, but it looks like machined (copper?)!
