Why are drums round?...can't we make hexagonal drums?...don't round drums still have membrane nodal points at the lugs?
Why did we replace lugs with string?...don't bolted lugs obstruct shell resonance?
Why is ply-construction the industry standard?...wouldn't turning drums out of logs be so much more resource efficient?
Wouldn't direct drive pedals be more easier to manufacture than those with chain?
Is there anything else we can make a drum-head from?
Have you noticed that the physics that goes into drums is so much more complex than that which goes into acoustic guitar making?
Who says that we can't put snare wires on the batter head and still have an adjustable snare latch?...heck, who says we can't have a snare bed for both the reso and batter heads?
Would a drum set with proportions made in accordance to the phi ratio sound "golden"?
Should we recycle drums and cymbals to create new drums and cymbals?
Should we have drumsticks made from the offcuts of the drum making process?
Who says I can't have vented tom-toms?...or a vented bass drum, for that short heavy metal sound?
Why snare drums seen as so "stand-alone", eg. ordering them seperately as an add-one?...what if I want an extra-specially designed second left bass drum?
Retractable drums...an new way of tuning?
Are there actually any experts in drum making on these forums?
