So time to make another drummer god! Step 1: Print out a picture, trace onto cardboard, and cut out. Over and over and over again. Step 2: Trim them: It's easier than it looks. I basically assemble the layers, decide what to cut away, test fit, and repeat. Do one side first, and use it as a template for the other. Step 3: Assemble! Yes, I'm doing two! They need to be symmetrical, and there's no way I can perfectly match the one I made before. It was just as easy to make 4 of each piece as it was to do 2. Plus, I can make improvements.
