3:05 sounds like an acoustic 808 bass drum
This instrument needs to be famous
This instrument will be famous, every musician needs this instrument!
That's incredible, never seen anything like it before
I think I've seen Nicolas Bras do a TED talk with a somewhat similar instrument, but it used a hose he breathed air into in order to inflate the can drum. I think this drum isn't using inflation. It seems to be using some sort of mechanism to push a circular hoop upward into the drum face? I think?
That's it!

So, a kettledrum head with a snare bottom. neat.
I love these little but transformative tweaks on centuries old insturments.
Holy crap, where has this drum been all my life?!?! Wow, that is amazing
This is incredible! What a work of genius!
One thing to try - take a ridged plastic juice cap and place it on the head (hold it down with a finger of your left hand). Then you can "zip" the ridges with your thumb/index fingernails. It makes a fun "zipper" sound effect.
I use this technique with a simple cardboard box, but I can imagine how it would sound with this drum!
I have to try this, thanks!
very interesting!!
This is one of the coolest instruments I've ever seen!
Me too, I can't wait to have my own model!
the part with your friend at the end there was pure delight to my ears
You should be getting a commission . I can't recall seeing a better demo of equipment in my life. I'm like, dude, take my money!
Thanks!
First I thought that it's like all in one jungle/drum'n'bass -workstation, but then you went industrial/experimental! Great!
This instrument is sooooo creative and capable. Huge props to the guy that made it, and your perfect demonstration!
Le coup des aimants est incroyable, je n'avais jamais vu ça sur une batterie classique.
Beau projet !
Ce sont des idées du créateur de ce tambour, j'ai juste exploré très rapidement, il va falloir que j'y passe encore beaucoup de temps!
Tympani tuning for hand/stick drums. And with the magnets, it's next level. This is absolutely amazing.
Right?
acoustic 808, awesome
Right?
I played timpani in a symphony orchestra, the same principle here)
Around 5:40 you slide the magnets around while playing. The gesture you made ! It felt like you were playing chess in there. Since there are magnetic chessboards, I guess this could be a strange way to record games. :D
I'd love to see a full-on dubstep or a breakbeat rhythm played on this thing! The ability to draw out the same effects as electronic studio effects is so crazy.
My initial thought was this sounds like a South Indian came up with it... and after checking out Stephane's channel... I think I'm right, Vanaakum to Carnatic music, and also un beau grand merci pour nous acceuillir à un instrument assez unique!
Back in the late 60s I bought a floor tom that had a timpani type of pedal system. I wish I still owned it!
Top magnets with short lengths of different kinds of small chain attached: ballchain, toilet lever chain, etc.... Also motorized mallets.... ......Spring reverbs......... Sympathetic strings......
Yes a lot more to explore!
Yeah! Someone made made it! Had a similar idea for the tuning system. Great to see it!
This is a dream come true for drummers who not only want to play out off time, but also out off tune. 🥺
All kidding aside, you are brilliant and this is a great instrument.
This instrument could do ANYTHING!
Amazing instrument. Many possibilities. Sound like darbuka
Just wow!!!
Such a cool creation. I love the tones warbling and wobbling on the way to and from that changes with the tightness of the skin (or whatever material the drum top is made of). It gives some really cool sounds depending on your playing style and you don't get that kind of direct feedback from a lot of instruments. Most instruments are in a steady state of being and you get a certain sound out of them regardless of who is playing it but this is different in how the instrument responds to your individual inputs and playing style. I really like how it sounds.
Yes it is a very generous instrument, every technique sounds great on it!
Incroyable cette instrument
Mesmerizing!
Thanks for your passion and the work to share it with us! 🥁
Thanks!
Mark the nodes on that drum head for precise magnet positioning! This is fantastic!
Yes, for now I still have to explore a lot, but I'll mark my favorites!
Thanks for the ideas! Working on an electronica project with live drums...will most definitely use that magnet trick :)
damn, like a Timpani and Snare in one, that's sick
The almost electronic sounds are incredible. I do wonder how durable this will be over time, I can imagine the membrane losing flexibility and becoming stretched and floppy over time, especially when tensioned for a while.
I don't think it is a problem, but I don't have the experience, you can ask the creator!
It's a standard drumhead, so totally replaceable!
@@Merlincat007 Good to know, thanks!
@@buzhichun I could be wrong if the drum can't be disassembled, or something. But pretty sure. I was disappointed to see that the price is so high. I think I'll diy something similar instead, tbh.
have to be careful but just hold a lighter under the head about 3" or so and wave it back and forth slowly for a handful of seconds. might want to hold the pedal down? could take a couple of passes. A lamp is a useful alternative.Make sure you remove the lamp shade. haha.... IF your not careful you will make a hole. Works for calfskin and mylar.... A new head is always better. But that's how you extend a drum heads life.
Dayum the natural sound of that buzz what in the heck, Buzz on fipple is also amazing but buzz on a drum is epic haha, I remember playing a badly tuned cheap snare and it would make this buzz ! Great to see it with blimmin range 😂
Thanks for sharing. A homemade drum synth without electricity! I like how it can emulate a "bass tabla" too.
This is the 21 century's talking drum!
I like the feature that you can control snare by foot.
That is a serious palette of sounds. Nice idea !
thank you thank you thank you. maker of instruments, never thought drums could do that
Yes that's a perfect one, simple and so many possibilities!
This is very advanced and amazing at that.
Wow, at the end. Nice drumming.
Reminds me of an African talking drum.
Love your experiments with the magnets.
I want one 🙂
Yes Stephane is a great player! The link is in the description if you want your own!
This sounds INCREDIBLE!!
The distortion mods were siiiiiick!
Fantastic drum instrument.
c'est génial, c'est le genre de truc que je veux plus voir sur yt, c'est tellement passionnant, j'ai tant envie de découvrir exactement pourquoi avec ces aimants ça fait de tel sons même si ça requiert des équations et des trucs mathématique compliqués c'est juste trop cool!
Ce genre de contenu c'est à la fois satisfaisant car c'est beau, c'est nouveau, intrigant et frustrant car on veut en savoir plus, on sait que ça ouvre des portes mais on est perdu devant l'immensité des choses à découvrir, ça c'est pourquoi je reste sur yt. merci.
Grand merci! J'avoue que je connais pas vraiment le fonctionnement, c'est la première fois que je manipule ces aimants, mais je vais creuser! L'idée c'est de rajouter du poids sur les lignes de vibration de la peau, ça change les harmoniques disponibles, et les grésillements viennent des aimants plus larges d'un côté, la peau vient battre contre un morceau de l'aimant, et ce grésillement donne l'effet distorsion électronique !
Redefines the meaning of drumming. As drums once were, one is essentially creating rhythmic accentuations in time. The drums' function is exclusive to the beat. Yes, we can tune drum our drums to match a C or a C#, etc. (because any acoustic instrument carries it's own physical resonance.) But we drum ONLY to the given tone; the drummer can't change the fundamental harmonic, per se. Therefore, in drumming, pitch was always an after-thought. But this ingenious instrument now blurs the line between melody and beat. A sort of groove that sings. More than brilliant, I'd go so far as to say this is a paradigm-shift in musical percussion itself. Hallelujah!
I have an old pearl set with twist-to-tune and I so want to go try some of those magnet techniques on it
I really love the fact that is partially 3D printed!
This does everything a canon wishes it could do. What a super versatile and interesting design.
The transition between bongo and middle East drum sounds is incredible. Great new tool for the stool drooler in your life! Your friend should make some and see if a music store would show them off.
Woah! Absolument génial!
Grand merci!
Awesome and amazingly cleaver instrument. I love the magnet idea and am anxious to experiment with it on my frame drum and darbuka! A whole new field of sonic possibilities!
Fabulous.
The tension pedal is really really cool!
La qualité de l'enregistrement fait quand même bien plaisir on se rend bien compte du potentiel de chacune de tes trouvailles/créations , merci bg !
Premiers tests de mon nouveau micro Lewitt, ils ont accepté d'endorser la chaîne, je présenterai ça dans la prochaine vidéo !
That's so cool, I think I'll build one.
nice solo at the end, the sound is cool it sounds can anchieve ancient and some improvised new instrument
Reminds of DialTune drums. Snare drums you can quickly tune for different sounds. This is a super cool concept.
Ever hear of the drum company WTS?
(Welch Tuning Systems?)
It's like a whole wired-up drum set in one instrument -- amazing ...
Omg so fun! This channel had so many new sounds!!
Such a cool design!
Amazing
It's an analogue drum synth!
Le truc trop bien !!!
So you got a drum that can make many different sounds from a friend, and the first thing you can think of is modifying it to make even more weird sounds. Your creativity is unstoppable!
The magnet pack is a creation from Guillaume too, he told me how to use it on his instrument, I just try and film!
Oh man those sounds with them magnets! So cool! Reminds me so much of music in LISA game.
This is amazing. What a simple and genius idea. I will not be surprised at all if this will become a standard instrument.
I'm sure it is a must have for many musicians!
This thing is AWESOME!
Right?
That is one cool drum!
Excellent, what a simple/brilliant idea! 💖 🇨🇦
Right?
This is amazingly awesome! Thank you for taking the time to showcase it! If you’re looking for more depth to your didgeridoo, check out William Thoren (wet didgeridoo). He uses embouchure to change notes, while Dan Flynn introduced false pitches in the toots. Dan opened up the possibility of didj’s sounding like cello’s. I love your sound and your songs. Please, never stop and always more didgeridoo!!
Thanks!
Well that certainly eliminates the need to put your elbow on the drum head and lean down to raise the pitch.
That is bonkers and I want one!
Build one! That's what we're here for, man 😄
amazing!
Really cool!
Incredible
Wow! An acoustic Reactable!
That's actually incredible
Right?
Also now my new favourite drum. Not going to lie I was hoping you made a sample pack for this. So many cool beats could be made with this.
This video is also a support to Guillaume for the release of the instrument, but we are working on a Soundpaint version!
@@NicolasBras Nice
Super cool, sounds so diverse. Crazy fun!
Right?
Enorme !
Very impressive!
de la bombe !
Real innovative drum!
le djumbe 2.0 :o)
impressionnant
faudra peut être rajouter un système de quadrillage/repèrage sur le 2.1 pour essayer de reproduire les mêmes effets d'une fois à l'autre (je suppose que la position des "accessoires" n'est pas au mm près, mais quand même)
Bordel c’est excellent
Genius.
trop cool!!!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
that drum is absolutely mindblowing, what a crazy piece of musical engineering
ingenious
Amazing piece of kit, I am blown away by it. Nice playing also 👌 👏
😎🎙🎶🥁✅
Thanks!
You are my musical spirit animal💛
Such a versatile drum!
Yep, everything sound good on this!
those vibrations
What an amazing instrument!
It is!
Crazy good
This is amazing.
c'est genial!
This is brilliant!
your version 2.0 can be a microcontroller based version of this. Use a midi foot pedal to play precise tuned notes.
AWWESOME!
Thanks!
