I've been playing on African and Middle-eastern drums a lot lately and decided that I need two to use with my drum kit. I've settled on a small djembe that I will sling over my left side (and push it to my back when I don't use it) and a large Cajon drum which I will sit on instead of using a throne (with the playing surface on the left side). This set up will allow me to use my left hand on either ethnic instrument at all times, I can also use the djembe with both hands while still using my pedals with my feet. I can play the Cajon with both hands if I don't use any pedals. I was inspired by an Australian drummer (that one of my students introduced me to) named Jono Callow... http://youtube.com/watch?v=VF_Hw8l01LI He doesn't use a Cajon but does use a darbuka (where I will put my djembe). Here are some pictures: Small djembe:  Cajon drum:  Here is an example of cajon drum playing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WBQkxS9VYEo

Los Padre posted:I think it's an Udu. Yeah udu drums are amazing! The high school I teach uses one in our indoor percussion show this year. Very fun to play and amazing sounds come out of that thing! I might look at this instrument to buy but I assume its very expensive.

I just got back from the store and I got an awesome deal! I bought some damaged Moroccan bongos for $25 that normally sell for about $200. The ceramic is cracked and so I just shot some hot glue in the crack (though it didn't really need it, the drum's tension held everything in place just fine). It sounds great too! I'm very happy with this! Here is a picture, sizes are 7" small drum and 10" large drum.

I just got an udu drum and a didgeridoo! I am a percussionist and I have played the udu for a while, I finally have one of my own now though! But I am new to the didge. I've got the drone down with some effects and working on screams and calls and such. My goal is to be able to play this at the same time as my drum set (like Jono Callow). The biggest problem is mounting the didge for cheap. There are tripods for them for like 150 bucks but I am looking for something MUCH cheaper. So does anyone have any ideas on how to mount the didgeridoo to my drumset?

Gramps posted:Tripod microphone stand (20-50 bucks) This is a very good idea! I am pretty sure I understand everything you mean except exactly how to mount the PVC to the mic stand. I have an idea of what I'll try but can you elaborate your thoughts? Thanks a bunch!

Gramps posted:The mic clip screws onto the top of the mic stand. I'd also consider a quick release adapter so you're not having to spin your didgeridoo around every time you put it on the stand. I'd get your PVC all cut and take it with you to the music store and show one of the dudes there what you are trying to do. If they're worth a crap they'll get you set up with what you need. I got it mounted! Thanks for the help, I only did one thing different. Instead of a quick release I just bolted the PVC to the mic stand and angled one leg so it leaned in the right direction, I put dead batteries in the angled leg for added weight and instead of taking it off (which I might not have to I can get around it quite nicely) I can just 'swivel' it to the left. (I do the same thing with my microphone stand on my left.) Here are some pictures:     I'm still waiting on my Udu!  Please come soon!

I was going to cross post an SA Mart thread in ML but decided this would be alright to do it here. If anyone is looking to purchase some drums: I build custom drums professionally, and they are not expensive, so check out my SA Mart thread and at least talk to me before you buy something you might regret later on. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3161877

Workshopping my kits in my apartment at the moment, here is the left side of my main Yamaha kit: The flash makes it look like a cluttered mess. The white drums (octobans and snares) I built myself. The 14" floor tom (on the left) also has snares that can be turned on for a old school marching snare sound. Next thing to do is upgrade cymbals. Here is what I'm building (I have it all, just don't have enough room to set it up in here):  edit: tables shmables. ATwoSlotToaster fucked around with this message at 02:57 on May 1, 2010 |
