plastic wrap drum heads

We've all done it, farting around in the kitchen, stretch some plastic wrap over bowls and do a drum solo. Mom, dad, wife, whoever is around getting irritated because they think drums are a waste of time (wrong), and they just wanna watch some teeeveee, and you're out there in the kitchen being a fool, having FUN. How dare you. This non-scientific experiment was to prove that with decent recording equipment and methods, a real live drum sound can be extracted from darn near anything, and it's fun. Anything is fair game.

Help! Someone call the drum police! We’ve been duped for years and as a result have been spending hundreds of dollars on drum sets when a trip to Dollar Tree or Dollar General would have reaped us with the same rewards.

Indeed! Remo made their drums out of sonotube. Paper concrete mold. They work great! Let's make some drums out of something different. Wood is beautiful though...

Cool! I just bummed my uncle's fiberglass set, and I'm using that along with with some cardboard strips to make a primitive/shamanic drum. I think I should reinforce the plastic wrap with some packing tape too.

What can you share about hoops Karl? The lower end kits come with 1.3mm head hoops but I notice on high end kits, the hoop is 3mm and some are Zinc? Do the hoops matter that much on a drum with reference to shells and drum heads. I'm using remo Ambassador or emporer coated heads with birch shells but can never come close to some of the ideal sounds I hear on your kit. Even your Tupper wrap drums sounded good. 🤷‍♂️

Oh yes, hoops make a difference. Not huge, but generally, the heavier the hoop, the "drier" the sound. Standard hoops were 1.3-1.6 mm for ever, and my Sonor force 3000s came with them. Fast forward a few years, and after a couple thousand hard loud club gigs, I BROKE my snare batter hoop (cracked it... it didn't explode or anything), so I replaced it with a 2.3 mm "super hoop". It dried the snare a little, which was fine, and it didn't reduce the volume at all, far as I could tell. I also tried a die cast hoop, and I didn't like it at all. It dried it up a little more yet, but it was too tall. In other words, the rim was too high above the head, and it felt like I was playing a drum at the bottom of a well. I've since put super hoops on all of my drums, and I'm totally satisfied. They're bullet proof, relatively cheap, and they sound good. I really don't hear much of a difference unless it's a really small drum, like my 8", I hear a slight difference. A little less sustain. As far as the glass bowls, they do sound pretty good, and I could say it's because I recorded them with a good mic, and eq'd them, but they sound good even with my potatocam. I did spend some time "tuning" them, but it's pretty much a stretch and go situation. Remember that recording is a lot like photography. We take what we're sure is going to be a pulitzer prize winning pic, and it ends up being junk, because we don't see what the camera sees. Same with recording, we hear a lot more than the microphone "hears". Are you recording, or talking about ambient sound? It's amazing how different the two can be. We can hear more overtones, which actually kind of disappear once you get away 20 or 30 feet. I've done a bunch of videos on tuning and recording... maybe time for another? Thanks for watching!
