Calling all engineers! Recently I've been assigned to design my very own floor tom, but the thing is how?
I need to know what materials I need, how do I start it, is it hard to make one, and most importantly, how am I going to make one of them things that hold the legs in place (the little screwy bit that goes on da side & controls the position of the drum? Give me as much information as possible in relation to how I'm gonna make this possible, please help cos this goes in my GCSE
It's a drum Bill, from the Floor_tom page on Wikipedia; "A floor tom is a double-headed tom-tom drum which usually stands on the floor on three legs."
However, answering the question would be a lot of work, especially "how am I going to make one of them things that hold the legs in place (the little screwy bit that goes on da side" I sounds like the asker has limited fabrication experience, I'm not sure it is going to be too helpful to say; take a block of metal, and drill and tap some holes in it, but really, that is about what you need to do. Telling you how to drill and tap will just take too long.
As for the shell, molded plywood is probably most common, but again, i can't really describe how to do that there. You could also use a staved (like a barrel) construction. the hoop that hold the heads might be the biggest problem, depending on your metal fabrication experience.
