aluminum hank drum

This is an experiment to make a hank drum out of an aluminum cylinder.
Since I´m not at all satisfied with it yet (I will continue cutting/tuning) I thought it could be useful to document it. Most likely it will become spoiled during my experimentation *smile* Nevertheless it IS possible to use alternative metal, but I find it difficult tuning.. It´s necessary to compromise a lot.

awesome...I also play the hank drum and started a group on soundcloud. The group can be found at soundcloud with the name of the group "propane-tank-hank-drum-music"­. Any one feel free to join the group to either post some songs, or just listen to the beautiful music created with hank drums

[polyoud]

nice sound indeed!

how did you manage to have the different tones?

[SasaYamaoka]

sounds real nice, kinda popish sound, glasy ...

Have you tried it with a few different types of mallets? It may sound interesting.

Wow!!!!!!!! The aluminum has a much sharper and bright sound. Great rhythm arrangement from :32 to :45. Very nice. Curious to hear the steel and Aluminum tanks played together.

that's in my opinion a great scale, can i ask what the specific notation is? o_o

[goodcyrus]

most tones sound s nice and brite, only one or two semi-dead ones. Thx for sharing.
