Two versions are available, one with a pre- tuned drumhead and one that’s tunable and features a Mylar underlay ring to add bass tone. Both models are 2.5x12. The pre-tuned Calabria lists for $122.95, and the tunable model is $159.95.

PA-5K Drum Microphone Kit MXL’s PA-5K three-piece kit includes two A-5t tom microphones and an A-55 Kicker for the bass drum.

The A-55 Kicker is designed to deliver the deep, low-end punch of bass drums, as well as bass cabinets, congas, and other low-frequency instruments. It includes a built-in mic clip. The list price for the PA-5K is $199.95.

Outlaw
Church Pew Drumset Outlaw takes wood from old buildings and structures or any other timber that is no longer used and turns it into one-of-a-kind drums. This method of using recycled wood isn’t just environmentally friendly; it also allows the grains of the timber to tighten up with age, making for a beautiful look and unique sound for each drum. Recently, when Gillionville Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, was in need of drums for worship services, Outlaw took an old pew from a church in that state’s Calhoun County and turned it into a drumset.
