BrickWild Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Hey music & drum fans, I've created one of my 1st Lego musical instruments, an electronic drumset! It has a bass drum, 2 tomtoms, a floor tom, a snare drum & 2 cymbals! It is based off a Simmons SDX which was used by poplular bands from the 1980s including Genesis, Midnight Star, Dire Straits, etc! There is a control box on the right, which allows the drummer to adjust the pitch, tone, volume, reverb, etc. Top View I've also gave the drumpads different colours!

SilentMode Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Excellent work! I like how the whole thing is constructed. Perhaps have some round pads on the sides to give it a smoother look - I don't know if those parts are actually in LDD or not. Quote

I think he did a perfect job on these. Great work! Quote

BrickWild Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Electronic drumsets should have square pads. I think he did a perfect job on these. Great work! The Simmons pads are hexagonal. Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The Simmons pads are hexagonal. Oh. I didn't see where it said Simmons pads, so you are right. But there are hexagonal pieces in Lego so you did the next best thing. Quote
BrickWild Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Oh. I didn't see where it said Simmons pads, so you are right. But there are hexagonal pieces in Lego so you did the next best thing. I could've used the clip on octaganal 'stop signs' but they ain't available in LDD yet, especially in LU mode... Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Hey it looks great! Nice LDD design for the electronic drums BrickWild! Quote
Seluryar Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 nice drum set! now you need to build a stage :) (my set up)(click for larger version) Quote
BrickWild Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Here's my concert stage with an 80's rock group! I've constructed an excellent lighting rig! Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Looks great! But all it needs is the brickforge guitar and the pop star mic! Quote
BrickWild Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Looks great! But all it needs is the brickforge guitar and the pop star mic! I think so, but I don't think that Brickforge would ever have an affiliation with TLG. Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I think so, but I don't think that Brickforge would ever have an affiliation with TLG. I meant if you were going to build it with real bricks those would be better. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 I like it alot better with round Drums, Awesome concert hall Quote
