Description

Brake Drum for Hire

Literally one half of a cylinder of a brake drum of a car, van, lorry or a rickshaw, the brake drum can be very effective in modern and film music to provide a non-pitched metal effect. Some drums have more resonance than others and the best method of producing the clearest sound is to hang the drum with nylon cord or to place it on foam. Either way, the brake drum is struck with hammers of various weight.
