3d Drums: 24" Bassdrum - Sci-Fi-Style: Unique features... unique look... great sound - professionally sound checked...
24"=60cm. Printed 3x yet. On Pro-XXL-Printers. ABS, ASA+Carbon. With infill or solid… No support needed…
Sounds great… comes close to a High-End-Drum… close, but we just got started here.
Unique features of this 3d-drum-idea….
Two different conical Sound-Shapes inside (like a African Djembe)
gives two different Drumhead-Possibilities as a Batter- or Resonant-Side
a unique sound-experience
Outstanding Design
Pentagon-Relief on the outside shell
asymmetrical 9 tuning-screws and drum-lugs (instead of 8 or 10 as usual)
a unique drum-hoop-design, fitting those 9 screws
Hollow Shell-Construction gives a additional Resonant-Body (like acoustic-guitar)
Penta-Hole No 1 - Air-Hole
big enough to insert 2 cables with microphone-plugs into the drum
easy placement of 2 microphones inside - without a hole in the drumhead
Penta-Hole No 2 - Shell-Hole
gives access to Hollow-Shell for
extra microphone placement inside the shell (to be experimented with…)
filling-material (to be experimented with…)
filling up the Shell (with Sand or Granulat) gives
a variable Shell-Mass/Weight
a light drum to carry
a heavy/flexible drum to play
more or less Low-End Frequencie
(lots of fun with a vacuum-cleaner to remove the filling from the drum… ;-)
Feet-Construction without the need for extra holes in the shell
fits right over those “drum-lugs”
easy to swap the Batter- and Resonant-Side
You will need…
1x printed Shell (uploaded)
print as solid as possible for a better sound. Experiment with material.
2x printed Rings/Hoops (Uploaded!)
2x printed Legs (uploaded - support or not… it's up to your printer!)
2x 24" Drumheads (you need to buy those…)
2x9 = 18 of those Drum-Lugs with Screws and Claws for the Rings/Hoops (you need to buy those…)
18 flexible screw-supports for a better assembling-experiment… printed in TPU (Uploaded)
also some more TPU-parts for isolating the feet from the shell and some cool design-options with different colours… experiment!
Those small parts can be printed with every printer… but those Bass-Shell and those Hoop-Rings were printed on a XXL-STRATASYS, BIGREP and a TRACTUS System. Thanks to those freaks there for helping me getting this giant experiment done.
