Getting A Handle On It

If the drumkit was going to be transportable it was going to require wheels, since I wasn’t keen on carrying it everywhere. Suitcases with wheels and extendable handles are very common and were an obvious place from which to draw my design.

I already knew that I was going to need some sort of framework to hold the smaller drums at the correct height for playing. Knowing that the kit would be lighter and easier to deal with if I used as few parts as possible, I decided to make the handle pieces perform more than one function.
