Modular Pedestal Drum Stack · v0.1.0-blueprint

Sheet-metal greenfield blueprint · Round 5 · Lane 08Modular Pedestal Drum Stack

Five single-headed sheet-metal drums stacked on a central pedestal pole — pentatonic A-minor (A2-C3-E3-G3-A3), played top-down with mallets. A floor tom's footprint, a tom-stack's melodic range.
