electro drum

the idea is to electrify the drums remaining in the rich sphere of analog sounds. using electric guitar and bass pickups you can enjoy tone, volume and effects. i tried to replace the drums heads with ferrous-based stainless steel nets. all pickups are super cheap chinese unbranded, the tuning pegs equally. woods hairpieces mostly maple, sometime fir. To give sustain and being tunable i used a guitar or bass string, with two movable bridges that allow you to change the timbre of the steel mesh.​

16" floor-tom and kick drum

electro-drum an electric floor-tom used as a kick-drum. a maple bridge support a wilkinson hot-rail pickup, japanese electronics and bass tuning-peg. the foor-tom head has been replaced with a stainless steel mesh, an E string for bass suspended on two mobile bridges allows different possible intonations of the harmonic plane, the tone of the string depends on the tuning-peg.

an idea leads where we arrive with imagination, which is however limited. welcoming the unexpected leads much further!
