Satellite Drums

Satellite Drums

Also known as “satellite cans,” satellite drums consist of a steel bar welded onto a hollow, shallow disc of metal. The bars are pitched and while the cans are not, they produce a complex, resonant sound. Master metallic percussion craftsman Pete Engelhart made a chromatic set of satellite drums for Emil Richards in the late 1990s at his request.
