ScanBeat Peddles Here's a new twist on the kick/high hat pedal. It's set up something like those glider rocking chairs so that there's not just one axis of movement. On the rare occasions where I've sat down behind a drum set I can never get the kick to work very well. With this I could really play it. I image that a real drummer would really be able to do something with it. Scan-Bloc Trading & Mfg. |
The Drumometer Want to see how fast you can play? You plug in an electronic pad or a pad with a contact mic and you can have it count the number of hits within the specified time limit. DrumDial, Inc. |
Arbiter Drums Even without a shell these drums sounded good. They use a tuning system that uses just one tuner to adjust it. You can also use this tuning system on normal drums as well. Arbiter Drums |
Triggerheads These drum heads are made of a sort of permeable mesh so you can wail on them and they're virtually silent. They will however work just great with normal drum triggers. This bridges the gap between pads and triggers on acoustic drums. Combine these with the Arbiter (above) quick release rims and you could go back and forth between normal drum head and these very quickly. T Drum |
Drum-A-Long Another drummer knee-saving device, the Drum-A-Long is a basically a 9"x11" mouse pad with a picture of a drum set. Rhythm Magic |
