I am not sure why.......but I built this.
Is this in the correct section of the Forum?
Not sure of exact date on the "shell."

very creative! How does it sound?

Well.....it is not Noble and Cooley....or Maxwin even.....but...it does sound like a floor tom....kind of...if you used it on a gig.....it would work...until someone found out.

You might have a market for sidewalk bucket drummers. There's some good one's out there.

You're kidding......this post is still alive......? WOW.
In the meantime, I have been looking for a stereo interface to iphone to make a video so you guys can hear this "wonderful plasticky tone."
I have also constructed a snare out of a Goodwill cook pan.
10". This one sounds like a real snare. AGAIN........I need a stereo interface.
Thank You for Playing Along......in time.......wow....good.

I knew a guy years ago who made a floor tom out on an old barrel. I never saw it, but he liked it, I guess. Whatever.

You know?......I just played that BFT=(Bucket Floor Tom), AND...it sounded pretty good.
NORMAL, Like a tom tom.
The little GPS=(Goodwill Pan Snare) sounded very NORMAL too.
Ahhhh....The Normal....TV.OD.
