In theory you could certainly make a moving baffle, with the understanding that it would change the tuning port requirements on both the snare and kick side of the single drum. A variable air vent could solve that, and allow some adjustments by the end user.

Just a thought...

Hey - I've isolated both chambers, applied reflective treatments on the snare chamber and isolated the baffle from the shell itself - the baffle essentially floats inside the shell. The majority of the porting is on the kick, working the frequency at @ 60 The mags going to post cound files once the ...

So I've been wortking on this problem for a while... The problem, sympathetic snare buzz on a single shell cocktail drum. Full Length Snare on the top , kick drum on the bottom. Recently - I was working with an engineer, and we applied a bit of the Hemholtz theory of porting a cabinet to a cocktail ...

After playing cocktails for about 10 years now, I'm primarily a sitter. I also play in Cowboy boots, 1/2 boots actually with a very thin sole. It pretty much does the same thing as adding a block to the pedal. When I was playing three sets a night, using a cocktail, I would play right foot lead, the...

We make and sell our own brand - made from Hard rock maple dowels with a center rod dipped in epoxy, and then wrapped with six more forming the outer core. The epoxy helps to keep the sticks from disintergrating on impact. We then wrap with cloth tape to help absorb sweat, and cap the ends. Reasonab...

I'd suggest going to a fabric store, find yourself some heavy cordura type fabric, layer it back to back, use closed cell foam as an inner liner. Use backpack type clip straps three of them, should do it. If you a bit handy with a thread and needle, ( actually a sewing machine ) your pretty good to ...

I'm working with a machinist on a novl approach to a cocktail hat.

About a month away, I'll post pictures when I got the first proto.

I was National Sales Manager with a company up here in Massachusetts in the Guitar Pickup world for 3 years, prior to striking out with MetroDrum, and building cocktail kits. IMHO, one of the things that makes the prices so high is the middleman and the manufacturer looking for margin. GC won't touc...
