It's a very loud drum, so you don't need to whack it too hard, which is nice. I'd think a 14x7 drum would be too much for studio work...fun for a poison cover band though....
Why have someone make it? Get the parts and make one yourself...that's the fun of it.

I don't own many tools (just hand tools, no drill press, router ect) or have a workspace to really build something.
As far as depth, I normally use 14" x 8" snares and while I like a nice fat sound, I tend to steer away from that "snare tom" late 80's metal sound your thinking of.
Hmmmmmm. More evaluation to be done.
