McGrath... yup. Just do it the same way the "makers" do it. All it takes, as with any job, is the right tools. The only touchy part is the attachment to the base for the tightening screws. Depends on the type of drum. Wood is easy, as long as it's a good strong hardwood. Synthetic is tough, especially fibreglass, but if you use REALLY sharp drill bits and machine screws and seal them with epoxy, they work fine.
