I was just thinking about the future of drumming, and I wonder if there will ever come a day when drummers start playing chromatically tuned drums and cymbals. It would definitely add a whole new dimension to music.
Thoughts?

Terry Bozzio definitely lead the way with that using his Radia cymbals and multitom DW drumkit.Originally posted by Ryan_Cox View Post -
Terry also leads the way into huge dept and bankruptcy for owning so much expensive gear. It's ludicrous what he does...Originally posted by jdtdrums View Post
It's not necessary IMHO.Comment

There's a reason that Terry plays single-headed toms. They are pretty much all the same diameter and he changes the notes per drum to create a scale. This is the limitation to the idea - On a traditional drumset, there's no guarantee that a drum will resonate well at a certain note. His solution was simple, reduce the shell and remove the diamteter stipulation so you can tune them to whatever you want. There's also the option of creating different notes via depth which would be significantly easier than doing it through diameter (12 1/4" diameter drums?!). I think that's the main reason this hasn't happened commonly. Traditional drum sizing does not permit this. You'd have to build a kit for this purpose specifically, which Bozzio has. I don't want to know what it cost.Originally posted by Ryan_Cox View PostComment
