Nail Soup Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Made a suitcase bass drum- well attached a bass drum pedal to a suitcase. Will be part of a ‘busking’ kit. Not that I have any drumming skills or anyone to busk with ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Do you envisage being the drummer in a busk-ensemble, or is it to accompany yourself playing a guitar or whatever a'la traditional 'one man band' type of thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to use it while playing an acoustic. Plus I've been acquiring some other bits e.g. a snare/floor tom over the last few years, and will use then to record a drum track to some songs into the DAW. So only for solo projects at the moment, but maybe collaborations some day..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If you substitute a Ukulele banjo or something for the guitar, it'd fit nicely into the suitcase too Handy when running away from the police etc... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) A friend I played with for years did something similar, though theirs was a plastic Samsonite type job. Edited August 30, 2021 by Beer of the Bass 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea… just tried it and the uke case fits inside the suitcase (along with the pedal and space to spare!). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the uke only came out for that song and the rest was on the whole kit, but sadly I can't find a clip. Later he changed to a cajon as the kick, and a little miniature snare that packed a bit smaller and wasn't so loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's first take, with one rehearsal so a bit rusty. Recorded straight to Zoom recorder with no post processing (except trimming). And it features a Ukulele! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really thought of it as a small bass, it's a fairly standard 3/4 size old flatback, probably Czech or German. I'm about 6'1", and I think the spike there is slightly higher than I usually have it - I'd probably set it before I put the piece of wood underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
