North Drums (electrified) Last viewed: 5 hours ago

Posts: 13 Threads: 5

It's OK, I'm ready for the comments. I do collect drums, and sometimes I come across some weird ones. Here is one. These are North drums that have been modified with triggers. You can back them off completly and have complete acoustic, or acoustic/electric at the same time, or put on the Hart mesh heads and have them completly electric. I'm wondering if there is any intrest in this kit out there. I have had it for some time now, just got new Evans Black Chrome heads for them. Thought I would throw it out there and see what kinda comments I get.

Thanks guys (and gals?)

I still have a set, which have remained in the cases at my warehouse for years. I have the full set, including the 6" tom and 22x22" bass drum. (Do you also have those drums?) I played the kit back in the 70s-80s and built my own triggers for them which I used with a Roland DDR-30 drum module. As I recall, they sounded cool but, I hated the feel of a single headed drum. Acoustically, they sounded better out in front, than behind them. I have planned to refurb them and see if tweeking the bearing edges might help. It seems, there's always something more pressing on my calendar....but, some day...

Yea, the bearing edges always get messed up. Mine need work there too. I only have the 4 toms, 6,8,10,12. That's why the mesh heads work so well on them because the bearing edge doesn't matter then. I'm using an old Pearl fiberglass/wood 20" bass drum that I actually cover with white contact paper (many layers) and a Axis pedal with the trigger module on it. The snare is a Pearl Forum that has a cone trigger in it and it's wrapped with the contact paper as well. It was a cheap solution and the color matched the toms quite well.

Thanks
