Title: Pete Engelhardt-style Ribbon Crasher...
Product review: I've been a fan/player of the Engelhardt instruments since the 80's--ever since his Lens Drums were featured in "Mexican Radio" by Wall Of Voodoo, and "Like Humans Do"by David Byrne. I just wish that his instruments were more widely available, and ingreater variety--I also miss the rough, natural patina of Pete's 1st generation pieces.As for this instrument, the 15", It's treating me alright, but it's not as loud or lively as my 1st gen ribbon crasher, which is the smaller, 11" size...I expected the 15" to have a bigger, more aggressive sound than my old 11". Perhaps I can jam something between the slats to achieve the desired effect...
