What kind of drums are those Ofajen and what are they made of? I have never seen any like that.
I'm not surprised you haven't seen their like. I made them long ago when I had much time and little money. The shells are actually made of 1" lumber cut into strips with bevel cut sides calculated to produce the appropriate diameter of shell. The 22" bass and 13" riding tom have 16 sides, while the 18" floor tom had 9 sides. I glued them together, held fast with some kind of cincing strap. Then I made rims out of a piece of plywood cut into rings with a jigsaw and sanded them to produce edges and glued them to the ends of the shells, which produced drums that have now lasted about 20 years. The hardware is simple eyebolts and other parts from the local hardware store. Of course, I painted them black! They actually sound surprisingly good, which means that I can never justify replacing them with a commercial kit, since I made these by hand from raw materials.
Cheers,
