Copper Drum Set. Need to find shells. HELP

....... · 24th January 2011

So I just saw Matt Chamberlain's Craviotto copper shell drum kit. No wood. Just copper. I love the sound of this kit! Reminds me of the Ludwig Steel drums only darker. I contacted Craviotto about pricing and needless to say for three drums six grand is TOO much!

1) Does anyone have any ideas were I could find copper shell drums?
2) Does anyone know who could possibly make the shells if I find enough copper?
3) Any ideas at all into making these drums

I have no problem in building these drums myself but I cannot find anyone or place that has copper shells. Help please

Ask over at Drumforum.org - the guys over there will know who to go to.

That Danny Carey kit is amazing.... there's just something about cast bronze drums that just rules.
