    Default Bizarre accessories

    After having watched a bunch of videos on bizarre drum kit accessories, what kind of weird things do you have on your kit? I have a saw blade on mine (10 in. Rigid) as a substitute for an accent bell (Zilbel).

    I made my own chime set from barstock, plastic ties, and a paint mixer stick from Ace Hardware. I never painted the stick, so it still says "The Paintin' Place" on the back!
    And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw. . .

    so, how exactly did you fabricate that? i may have to try to do something like that, because i don't have the money to buy a real chime set.

    You'll notice Jam'n Jimmy has a fire extinguisher mounted behind his ride. Sometimes I've been asked when I'm roadieing for him, "why's he got a fire extinguisher on there?". My reply, "Ever seen him drum?".

    You can see them right below my ugly mug here:



    Just go to Ace, buy a crap load of round bar stock- you'll be surprised how many it eats up, and cut them 1/16" or 1/8" longer each time, depending how long of a chime you make. Cutting these was a bear; that bar stock is hard! Drill holes in them (again, a bear!). Take the smallest plastic ties they sell, and mount them to the pre-drilled paint mixer (or yard stick, if you're making a longer one.) Hint: take a drum stick and place it between the chime tops and the stick to get them evenly spaced on top when you are closing the plastic ties.

    Your biggest expense on these will be your time cutting all those bars and drilling those holes.

    While you're at Ace, you can get some 1/8" wooden dowel rod material, some shrink wrap tubing, electrical tape and some hot glue and make your own (customized!) Hot Rods for about half the price of the ProMark ones, but that's a differrent story. . .

    that's awesome, and you can't really tell it apart from the product you would buy at the music store.
