Another small drum set in Berlin

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Apparently Berlin has become the capital of cool drum sets. Here’s another one from a band playing near Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate. In the background you can see the construction site of the new American embassy.

The bass drum is the size of some people’s snare drum. Maybe it is a snare! And the tom looks like a bongo. I like the way the cymbal is attached to the snare. No extra stand necessary.

Cardboard bass drum

There are various musicians and comedians on Berlin’s Hackescher Markt everyday. This one is special though. A while ago I saw a small jazz band with one of the coolest mobile drum sets that I have ever seen. The bass drum is a banana cardboard box, connected to a piece of wood and a Berlin newspaper. Genius!
