thunder sheet/ percussion tools

[tigersscareme]

I'm looking for a thunder sheet/rectangular sabian gong.
 
 I've called chuck levin's and house of musical traditions. I'm going to try drums unlimited next...where do you go for your weird percussive needs?

I have built drums out of 50 gallon drums before.
 
 luckily, a 20" drum head fits just fine.
 
 i think you're right 'tho. I'm going to have to  get a thicker gauge of flashing.
 
 thanks

my kind of thread! of course, it won't top double digits in replies.
 
 tigers, i usually go to the house of musical traditions every few months to pick up a gong or tibetal bells and bowls, shakers, etc. chuck levin's has a bunch of cool shit, too. the guitar centers round here are weak, but they do have some basic stuff.
 
 i'm a big fan of playing found objects, and if you're creative and resourceful, you can figure out a way to generate sound out of almost anything. one of my favorite recent tricks is rollong beads on my snare and cymbals, especially when they're attached to contact mics.
