Overview |
TreeHouse Custom Drums’ version of these ethnic East-European rope-tuned bass drums have a great mix of traditional and modern features. What makes these drums so special is their two very different sounds. If you’ve never been around one, you’d think you’re hearing two different drums being played at the same time. The low side is a full bass boom played with a mallet in the middle of the head while the treble side, played with a long switch, chirps out a bright “tek” as the stick is played across the head. How we get there is by using a rounded bearing edge on the bass side, which is headed with a Remo Ambassador Fiberskyn Powerstroke, and cutting a sharp bearing edge on the treble side which wears a Remo Ambassador Renaissance. Both of these heads are stranded to simulate animal skin, but are modern heads that are stable in humidity changes. The heads are attached to the shell by being roped to each other with the shell in between. Quarter-inch cold-rolled steel rods are used for the rings securing the rope to the heads. Durable, low-stretch rope with a kernmantle weave is used to pull the heads tight against the shell.
