gigpig, the smallest drum kit ever

a rather bizarre instrument, this gigpig from sweden. it's a extra small drum kit, build around a concept that says "make a great sounding drum set that is self-contained and easily portable". the result is the gigpig:



from their website: "Each GigPig drum set is a finely crafted instrument consisting of specially sized resonance chambers inside a birch cabinet. The chambers are sized to provide the optimum tone for each drum.

Maple shells are seated into receiving grooves on the box. The grooves are precisely cut for each size of drum. Quality heads are then installed with heavy duty 2.3 mm chromed steel hoops.

The bass drum and high hat pedals are attached directly to the box - as are all mechanisms. The pedals are cleverly hinged so that they can be quickly folded up and out of the way for easy transport.



The 8" snare drum hosts an amazingly large sound thanks to it's deep, oversized resonance chamber - which passes from top to bottom of the cabinet. The batter head is mounted on top while the resonant head and snare wires are mounted on the bottom of the box.

We assure you that you've never heard an 8" snare drum sound this big before."
