Back in the early '70's a friend of mine designed a drum set and had it made by a company in Nova Scotia. It's yellow fiberglass, five toms and a kick (the custom pieces; snare is stock). Here is why they are unique: All the toms are long with one head and curve outward at the bottom so that the bottom of each drum points at the audience. My friend got the design idea from the Swiss long, bent horns, the bells of which sit on the ground (think Ricolla ads). All the toms mount on a half-circle chromed bar similar to how electronic drums are now mounted. He said they were so loud they didn't need micing even in amphitheater-sized venues. At any rate, he sold them to a guy who then sold them again. We're curious if anyone has ever seen these drums and if so, where and when.
