Title: metal frame drum deal Post by: 563 on September 11, 2004, 04:36 PM Hi all,
I guess this is mostly for our stateside members. I came across a good score today at Cost Plus Imports. Among the kitchen supplies and such I found a stack of metal serving trays. 14-15" across, round, about 2" deep, with two semi circle handles. There was one copper one with pretty embossing which drew my eye, then a stack of (what I think is) steel ones. And they sound GREAT! For $20, a metal frame drum with a metal head. Nice sound you cant get from a more traditional skin/synthetic headed drum. Highly recommend taking a look for one if you can.

I found that stainless steel bowls have wonderfully expressive properties! They have a nice deep tone offset of the center, but the flattened, center section is really sharp.

Were a nice accompaniment to cardboard boxes, upside-down buckets, and the trash cans themselves before I got my first kit.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm actually talking hand drums here, not kit drums and accompanying parts. |
