We are preparing a new part of Drumdojo dealing specifically with Drum Building.
We are interested in working with amateur drum builders in the design process to help us test out the site functionality and to user test the information.
If you have an active interest in drum building and in participating in our beta tests, enter your name and email address and we will get back in contact with you.
Thanks for your support and your love of the drum!
