Ambitious Kickstarter Project Wants to Raise $250K For Archive of Percussion Instruments

KICKSTARTER CORNER: A new Kickstarter is underway to build an archive of percussion instruments. I don’t have high hopes, though; the project is trying to raise $250,000 (!) and the English is a little awkward: “No drum or instrument is extinct from time. Referencing the video and pictures posted: Some instruments have over time been extinct from history. Using vintage catalogs, pictures, and technology, drums that have not been seen for 100’s of years will now resurface. In the video and 2 pictures below you can watch one of Ludwig’s first drums ever made resurface. This feature will be used to fill in the gaps of time. Catalogs, badges, drums, auxiliary percussion, xylophones, marimbas, and more will be recreated using today’s technology.” I like the ideas and I think Mr. Malone’s heart is in the right place, but this might be a bit ambitious for a first Kickstarter project.
