In this video I assemble a 'vistalite' type snare drum from a recently acquired acrylic snare drum shell (made by RCI Starlite) and discuss the attributes of acrylic as a drum shell material in the process. Of course there will playing (both 5" and 6.5" deep acrylic snare drums).

Come have some fun!!
