But probably not as good as the DW......... the grain direction is all wrong.Lol DW will sell you virtually the same thing for 150 bucks.
But I found this at IKEA for $12.99
And it works!!
Yeah this is the IKEA version of VLT technology hahaBut probably not as good as the DW......... the grain direction is all wrong.![]()
It's to make it easier to rotate the drum while tuning. That way you don't have to strain your wrists turning it, or have to reach all the way across a 12" drum. It's kind of like buying a Yamaha Crosstown cymbal stand that weighs 5.87lbs instead of a Pearl C-800W that weighs 6.15lbs. Apparently every little bit counts.Wow, that's... that's...

What is that thing? And what is it for? [It's a Lazy Susan and you can use it to spin a drum - that much I know already]
Interesting. I put my drums on my drum throne and spin them that way when tuning so technically my method costs $0 (assuming you have a round top seat which rotates you’re already using).It's to make it easier to rotate the drum while tuning.

Actually, I do want one of these for my kitchen table. I'm tired of having to pass the salt. They don't call it a Lazy Susan for nothing, right?![]()
The word “smurf” is the original Dutch translation of the French "schtroumpf", which, according to Peyo, is a word he invented during a meal with fellow cartoonist André Franquin when he could not remember the word salt.
I have to admit; I'm just assuming that's what it's for since I can't think of any other reason for one. But I agree, I don't struggle with spinning my drums on carpet or a folded towel or even reaching across them. But to each their own. Sometimes it's the little things in life and people do like gadgets.And DW actually offers such a thing? How many drums do you need to tune to make this worthwile? I mean you also have to grab that thing from a cupboard, place it on a table and take it back to the cupboard after tuning. And when playing the toms, I have to use my arms and wrists a lot more than when reaching over to the next tension rod while tuning. Sorry, I really don't get it but more power to everyone who feels like it's a helpful tool.![]()
Exactly! They look alike, but that's where the similarities end. I'm sure you've wondered about the price disparity. I know I did. Here's what I found at Sweetwater:But probably not as good as the DW......... the grain direction is all wrong.![]()
