or put it on its side and get infinity

 

 

Laughed again!!!

 

Yea bad idea IMO. That's a lot of air to push, carrying it, special case. If they did it a while back and don't do it anymore..........................think about it.

I tried the Alex VanH thing in High School once, just at home to see if I could do it. (yes I'm dating myself here). If you looked closely at pics from that era he took 2 kicks, and held them together with the hoop, alternating the tension rods one to the front kick, the next to the back kick, and did that around the drum. It worked. the tension on the rods going to both drums kept it together.

 

Now I didn't try to pick the thing up and move it. But it was great bedroom fun at the time.

Take a look at this! In this video of Van Halen Demo tapes from '76 it looks like Alex had doubled up his double bass drums. In the pictures during the video @ 7:02 you can see 4 bass drums, 2 on each side looks like they are clamped together with the regular hoop?
