Title: Drum Scalarizer
Post by: BAMF on February 23, 2007, 10:18:33 AM: Hello folks of Pinoydrums !

I just want to announce that we have just finished developing and testing the scalarizer variant suited for drums.

The scalarizer, originally invented as a tone upgrade for electric guitar, has now been adapted for bass, microphones, and now for drumsets.

The discussion thread, with reviews, on the scalarizer are here for your reference :

Guitar: http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,35791.0.html

Bass : http://talk.philmusic.com/board/index.php/topic,37509.0.html

The cylindrical, firecracker-looking device with the round ceramic transducer is the scalarizer.

Post by: BAMF on February 23, 2007, 10:32:57 AM: Actually Nate, nung unang sinuggest ni Joric yan, I thought (and still think) its a great idea !

I'm going to quiapo this morning to buy some things. Isasabay ko na yung pagbili ng mumurahing vibrator, scalarize ko. No kidding man !

In theory kasi...basta basta. Baka mag-orgasm ang partner in 5 seconds or less.

Osyet...womankind will cease to need men !!!

Di nga ! When I'm done with that, I'll post sa Sex and Relationships naman. :D Scalarized Vibrator !

Post by: phfreq on February 23, 2007, 10:37:19 AM: meron po ba kayong audio clips nung with and without scalarizer dun sa drums? para po sa mga katulad ko na hindi makakarating dyan sa inyo para matesting...

Post by: BAMF on February 23, 2007, 10:40:13 AM: Ala nang before sir e.

Liquid Nails yung glue na ginamit namin, it's very permanent.

But to give you an idea, the kit is an SX drumset...cheapest of the lot at JB. Cymbals are Sabian B8 Student edition.

Post by: inigo on February 23, 2007, 12:50:50 PM: Una kala ko for electronic drums, kasi it makes sense.

Tapos kala ko joke, kasi sa acoustic drums nakakabit.

Tapos kala ko seryoso pala, malay ko ba kung naka-mic yung drums.

Tapos ngayon, nalilito na ako.

:D :D :D

more than 1 month ago.....before twas installed... i was changing the heads of the snare, i then ask BAMF if can i try the acoustic scalarizer on it. After I installed the heads I then attached by just holding the acoustic scalarizer while im pounding the snare... WHOAH.. its subtle but it reacts to the resonance. If the sound snare sounds like it was everywhere it then became more round and the sound became more focus on one path.

maririnig po ba yung effect nung scalarizer "acoustically" or kinoconvert nya into electrical signals tapos yung electrical signals then pag natranslate un into and audio signal ung signal na yun ang maganda ang tunog? para po bang transducer yan? paano nya namo-modify ung sound/acoustical sound nung drums?

sayang, hindi ako makakapunta. Dun sa mga pupunta, pa-describe na lang po kung ano yung nangyari sa sound and paano nagawa).

Thanks!

Post by: BAMF on February 23, 2007, 06:30:27 PM: If you can come only on a sunday, me tao naman dito, si Sammy. A drummer himself. He can lead you on a tour of the drumkit.

I'm indisposed on Sundays. Would want to meet you guys sana, but if Sunday is all there is, so be it then ! :D

no electrical signals need to hear the effect of the scalarizer. No its not like the transducer. re: how the sound was modified ... it sounds like the SX Drumkit shells are more thicker ..... haaaay ang hirap iexplain... better hear it for yourself :)

Post by: BAMF on February 24, 2007, 11:26:27 AM: Eyyy anytime you're ready Bos Jim ! Dating gawi, on a friday night ? Tamang-tama, off ni anton ang fridays.

Last night in-audition namin ulit. Okay na halos lahat ng shells except the Kick drum, which still sounded too "boomy". So I prepared another acoustic scalarizer to install on it. Will know the results by tonight when I get to the shop. Honga...masyado sya malaki to be handled by just one scalarizer.

Post by: BAMF on February 24, 2007, 02:06:30 PM: If you want, you can consider holding the mini-EB at PIMP/BAMFx. There's a studio there, lots of space for parking, I love the atmosphere there. Pot luck na lang, parang camping tayo. :D

I'll just buy more chairs.

Sama ka sa mini-EB sa Gig Studio sa Sabado, padala naman ng scalarized snare drum, please? Salamat!!!

Any updates from actual observers? How was it? :?

Anyone care to explain further how it works?

Post by: Gep on September 13, 2007, 02:12:51 PM: Nasa John Petrucci boards na ang scalarizer! Hehehe...

Gusto ko subukan! Isa to sa mga bibilhin ko sa October hehehe.
