   Looking into, mostly DIY, eurorack chassis and it's a jungle. I have so much to learn.

     Oh boy. Kiss goodbye to your old life. Also your loved ones if any, and your bank balance.

     It's quite fun, perfectly decent as a kick or hihat. A bit clicky but some people like that & the build instructions warn about it too.
     Good soldering practice for thru hole for a beginner. Worked first time, no smoke or anything.
     The roll gate is a bit finicky to get sounding right, but when you do it works well.
     Obviously the biggest "issue" from a modular perspective is that there's no voltage control over any parameters, but on the other hand it cost me < £30 to build.

     An equivalent commercial module with VC over all those parameters would be probably twice the size and 10x the cost.

     So, in summary, I like it lol.

     @botvolution nice! I actually just ordered a PCB + panel after reading this. I'm very much looking forward to this build! :)

     Cool.
     Tip: a shrouded power header won't fit as it is obstructed by other components. So order a plain 2x5 header.
