I was all like "The heck job did you expect to get from that?"... I mean yeah study your passion, enjoy your life but , I do get it really . But there is something just a bit "OVER THERE" about getting a degree in the spontaneous and intuitive work of people who often had no education to speak of. Mind blown.

[@icarusDaBoi]

Fiberglass boatbuilder here. That kit probably never tuned up from new. It was made using a chopper gun, which is a little air-powered contraption that chops up strands of fiberglass, and then shoots it along a resin stream to lie in the mould. It's an incredibly inconsistent process, and it causes a lot of problems for fit and finish. its also a very cheap process, and it requires edge-finishing with hand tools at the end (to get the trimmed edges flush). You should NEVER use that process for something requiring a tolerance of oh, more than an inch.

[@Ahapenootjes]

I presume you mean the inside of the snare drum? Could it also be that some previous owner botched a repair? At 6:25 you can see white paint covering internal hardware. I doubt a manufacturer would finish the product like that themselves.

[@icarusDaBoi]

@@Ahapenootjes It could be a repair, but that's a lot of gelcoat over the glass, and the consistency is quite wrong for handlay. It really looks like chopper gun work. It's possible that snare wasn't originally part of the kit.

[@Ahapenootjes]

@@icarusDaBoi Oh I'm not saying you're wrong about the chopper gun work. I don't know terribly much about fiberglas application in general and chopper guns specifically. Just wondering if someone could have tried to do a repair with a chopper gun?

[@Kalvinjj]

For carbon fiber what they use to make it decently precise is laying sheets of the material, or for absolutely accurate stuff (albeit mechanically limited, both shape and material properties in different directions) is winding the long fiber itself, seen it done for round tubes for example. Are the same techniques or similar applied to fiberglass as well?

[@MK-1010]

Thanks for the insight. It's also disappointing that the snare might have never functioned properly... Come to think of it, if the kit in the store played fine, the kit you took home could be completely different? I'm surprised they're still in business, though I'm sure much improved with carbon fiber shells.

A co-worker of mine, in the early 1990s had a set of Staccato Thunder Horns. He had them set up in the shop at work so he could play them on breaks and afterhours. I remember wanting to get on them myself SO BADLY. And then one day, when no one was around I got my chance. And they sounded like absolute shit. It was like wanting to drive your favorite sports car for years, and then finally getting your chance and you find out that Fiero isn't a sports car...

[@wawarushii]

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

"They look real goofy when you separate them out like this" As if they don't already look goofy as a set. But wow, they are definitely a conversation starter.

[@NicDunn]

My favorite story from old drum sets is that the reason kicks are called that is because a band leader didn't want to pay for multiple drummers so he literally told the snare drummer to just kick the bass drum, and this went on until pedals were invented

[@eleithias]

Mostly correct, it starts with busking in New Orleans, hard times finding work after the civil war and the union army spending 17 years going around making sure ppl weren't keeping slaves. So, broken economy, high black unemployment, african americans would busk for fun and money between looking for jobs, everybody was poor, so original kick drums were just normal big bass drums you set on the sidewalk and kick, with no chair to sit on, while you played something else, guitar, horn, washboard, w/e. Was also convenient bc even if you had a harness, you didn't want to hold the drum all day waiting for something to change in those interesting but poverty-stricken times.

Many years ago, I went to a music trade show in London, and Staccato drums had a stand. Now, I'm not a drummer, I'm a synth tech, but I had to talk to these people because their kits were just so "out there". And their product specialist was a certain gentleman by the name of Chris Slade. Later to be drummer for Uriah Heep and later AC/DC. Lovely chap who explained to me the acoustic benefits of such instruments. But I have still yet to work out what the odd "lip" on the top edge of the horn does.

[@OpenRoader]

In the late 1990's I was in a METAL band in Los Angeles and my drummer had two sets of these that he build into a monster double kick set up and they were incredible. Other than the fact that they took up the whole damn studio, they were great, sounded amazing, looked amazing and really got attention at gigs. But they were a night mare to transport and set up.

[@BluntEversmoke]

So bottom line, they fucking rock, minor logistical caveats notwithstanding.

[@Ben2D]

rDavidr taught me almost everything I know about drums.

[@_sandy_]

how much do you know about drums

[@ArceusShaymin]

I'm gonna be real - I'm a real low-to-mid-level music buff. I'm not keen on remembering much more than my favorite artists' aliases and a few key tracks (not even the bloody albums they're on sometimes, hah). Most of my knowledge is in electronica, with some small experience with woodwinds and concert strings. I can *confidently* say I have never, in my LIFE, even comprehended the problem of playing drums before mics became cheaper kit, or even available at all. It's wild to see that the solution to much of music pre-electronic amplification - even to percussion! - was literally to just stick a horn on it so that all of the sound is pushed in a direction. An arguably simple solution, but a layman like me wouldn't have even thought of the *problem,* let alone what to do about it. Wacky ass drums, and a wonderful video to showcase them! Cheers!

[@kadonpatel]

That's the funkiest kick drum I:ve ever seen. I wanna try it.

This concept was also used in speaker cabinets before they got really good. They were called "horn loaded" cabinets and they were really efficient! But they didn't have the flattest frequency response. Some companies today still make them, the one you see most often is Funktion 1.

At first I thought those drums melted. Perfect for the cursed cymbals. The idea of someone showing up with such a weird kit just gives me a smile.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Chad Channing - the drummer in Nirvana before Dave Grohl - had a set of North "Formula" drums whi h he used to record their debut album _Bleach,_ as well as their legendary and exceedingly rare and valuable _Love Buzz/Big Cheese_ single. He also toured with the kit for the first year and a half he was in the band. Engineers like Steve Fisk and Jack Endino still talk about the set (Fisk loved it and wanted more time to experiment with recording it, Endino - who only had a day to track the drums for _Bleach_ - struggled to get sounds from it the band wanted) and how interesting they found it and it drew a lot of attention everywhere the band went. The band trashed the kit at the end of their set so often that it was literally being *barely* held together with duct tape and super glue and the kick drum would implode and expand with every strike from the beater. It was so bad that the kit had no tone left and was simply a bunch of monotone "thuds" with cymbals for about the last 10 or 12 months of it's existence. Anyway, rock n roll history lesson over. G'day.

[@nebula_wolf3132]

i play in a couple orchestras currently and projecting over the orchestra is why drums are big and loud, i believe the largest timp we have is 32" and the bass drum is almost as big, you need that kind of size to make a big sound, even over unamped instruments
