Joey....I'm sure you are sincere about your creation, but I saw a couple of your other NAMM videos, and you sound like you have NO clue what you are talking about when you explain what makes your cab different/better from traditional guitar cabs.
The whole "drum" thing makes it even more dumb sounding because people keep wondering if it is a drum, and asking why it was being called a "drum" when in fact it is a speaker cab.

I mean...you don't have to pay attention to what anyone says about the sound quality of your creation...but at least learn to speak about it in a manner that sounds somewhat technically accurate and that you really know what you are saying...or better yet, just don't even try to explain it from a technical point, and instead just go for the novelty angle. Some people might want buy round, cylindrical speaker cabs that are stuffed with pillows.....

All that other stuff about "drums", and how drummers put pillows in their kick drum, therefore that's what makes your KLOPS special...it means NOTHING. You're making weird connections between drums and guitar cabs, and you actually think it's some kind of positive, technical selling point?
OK...maybe the drooling shoo-gazers will buy that selling point.

Regardless of how goofy IMO those things look, and the fact that you need more hardware than a drummer would in order to mount a 412 speaker setup, and requiring as much space as a complete drum kit would take up....which makes it really awkward and nothing that most guitar players will want to deal with compared to a normal head/cab or combo guitar amp...
...at least have a marketing pitch that actually tries to make some sense or that aims at the novelty...but there's NOTHING technical that makes them better than a traditional guitar cab.
Really...................

They are not drums.
Stuffing them with pillows simply means that your cab is pointless, because it's not working WITH the speaker.
Most speakers are meant to work WITH the cab's space...which you have taken out of the equation with your pillows...so then what's special about your cabs?
You need a better marketing pitch.
I mean, you can take a traditional 112 and stuff it with pillows...but NO ONE DOES THAT BECAUSE IT IS DUMB.
If the cab isn't goint to be working with the speaker...then you might as well hang the speaker in mid air with some wire coat-hangers.
Why not just stick the speaker inside a pillow.....and mic it there.

I'm done here....
 
I've just started selling a new speaker setup - it's speakers mounted in a *conga drum*
A 10" in one and a 12" in the other.
After doing a patten search I found nothing so I went for it.
Wicked easy to make and sounds -well you have to hear it to believe it.

This is gonna be big I tell you.


Also I've started working on setting drum heads in the 4x Marshall boxes that I've taken the speakers out of to make these drums.
This shows promise as well!

This is gonna be a win win all of the way around. ;)
 
Also, traditional cabs stack quite nicely and you can put the amp on top of them and they sound f***ing badass. I doubt you could get a decent tone out of a speaker stuck in the end of a foam filled drum.

(I know we've gone through this before, but, I dunno, whatever...)

huh?
1 post is pos and then the other is neg...
hehe

I eliminated corners so there are no air pockets or places for air to get trapped...<--very hard to do

I gave a single speaker the air space of the 4x12 but went behind the speaker..<--very hard to do

I mounter the speaker on the same size cab...<--very hard to do

I use drum hardware to hold the speaker in place<--very hard to do

I made up an imaginary company to exhibit at Namm <--very hard to do

I am a retired bodybuilder that got board with his life so I started playing guitar again <--very hard to do

I wrote 3 top 10 singles on mp3 .com in my 1st year knocking out Joe Stump <--very hard to do

either I am wrong ,stupidest,moron or what ever you guys think..booth 2593

You could put the speaker in a carpet filled drum, or just let it sit on the floor. Either way it's the same. Not good.
 
Thanks guys
I did add a touch too much verb true even for my liking.
Its a MAM strat>Deacy amp>57>Alice preamp>|Interface+twin delay and reverb.
This is the amp Steeno and I recently built (1 watt of solid state madness with a treble screamer infront of it)


That's good Rich! How long did it take you guys to build it? I haven't been in the DIY forum for awhile.
 
LOL What made me laugh in the video is it looks like the guys mom called him for his teatime or something.
I couldnt hear what was said but i imagine it was something along the lines of
"Quit f%$king around with that drum, speaker, drum speaker. Oh who cares what it is.
Your dinners in the dog."
 
Oh no, Now we have miroslav and joeynumbnut exchanging posts..

This could run for decades and use up all the interwebz...:facepalm:

I'm gonna run a book on who gets the last word... Who wants odds? It's all bets even at the moment.

It's the same on a few other videos as well. :laughings:
