my DIY end/cocktail table for my home theater/music room

[tattoo_Dan]

bought a new "red wine" color cheapo 13" tom from ebay.

had a piece of smoked glass cut for the top

.

.
mounted a base to a round piece of plywood that fir up in the bottom

.

the red wine color matches the rosenut speakers and cherrywood wall units in the room

Pretty cool!

did you dampen the heads so you won't get any sympathetic vibrations?

would the glass on top and the plywood in the bottom do that ok ?do you think ?

and it's at the opposite side of the room from the sub,I don't hear anything weird from it,if that's what you mean .

Probably is doing the job. As long as the head cant vibrate, you're good. (It would need pressure against, it away from the shells bearing edge.)

Yep that's what I mean. It would hum or buzz from the vibration. I guess the easiest fix would be to just jam a pillow inside it.



I have this dream of putting all my stuff in a mancave. It was dashed when I remembered that my drums would vibrate and make nosie when the home theater was cranked. (could buy some electronic drums...there is this Roland kit for about $5-6000 I like.)

If head vibration is a problem, go to a music store and buy a head damper- some toms have them and it's a metal bracket that screws to the inside of the shell and has an adjuster to raise or lower the felt pad to increase or decrease the dampening effect. Should be pretty cheap.

That would be a good table for playing 'Quarters'.

Does the dog/cat smack its head on the speaker stand when it comes in through the doggie door?

I can just picture the little guy coming in right when a big explosion or something happens in a movie, getting freaked out and running back outside.

Where is the cocktail?

Nice looking table to beat on when that bad movie comes on and you need to get the frustration out.

there is no problem with any kind of noise or vibrations from it.
