What to do when you realize that your bold bass drum microphone, gem € 200 and broken, not working properly, emitting simple "pac .. pac .." instead of a bass drum sound?
The simple answer, of course, is "buy one again .." but currently do not have the necessary economic resources ...
Then it occurred to me to try to create a clone of the highly popular subkick yamaha .. can enhance the sympathetic tone lower tamburone ..
So .. said microphone in practice consists of a common speaker in a canned-like drum and bass drum in front of the opening of ..
Looking around, I found the house a loudspeaker 16 cm from the machine, a roll of wood veneer and a wooden panel of a cabinet that I had advanced in the assembly ..
Per prima cosa con il legno da impiallacciatura ho creato un cilindro del diametro di 10 pollici, in modo da ricreare il simil-tamburo, a cui poi applicare la pelle mesh parapolvere..
Dal pannello di legno del mobile ho poi ricavato due cerchi da usare
come tappi per per il tamburo e su cui poi fissare le meccaniche..
Ho poi forato uno dei cerchi per poi inserirci l'altoparlante...
Terminato il taglio dei materiali, ho assemblato il tamburo,
fissando tutto con hot glue.
While I was I gave it a coat of black paint to the wood, just to create a basis upon which to apply the paper-cow (it is now an obsession .. ehehe)
A paint dry I then inserted the cable connector on the back to set the speaker ...
Now the prototype is complete .. in the coming days will execute some tests and if the darn thing will prove to be usable, I will finish the look ...
From the first listen already a noticeable difference than before .. course, now I have to use two microphones to resume the bass drum, but I can instantly create a good sound for any kind .. from metal to jazz ...
recycling cheers!
stay tuned!
