Band-Beesten rolling drum set

The Band-Beesten project is a collaborative interdepartmental project at the University of Idaho. The goal of the project is to design and manufacture a lightweight and low-friction rolling drum set that can be easily transported and operated by a user without powered assistance, by utilizing the capabilities and resources of as many University of Idaho departments as possible.

Design Goals

 * Reduce weight and friction from previous design
 * Fast and easy breakdown and drum reconfiguration
 * Human powered (No motored assistance)
 * Build alliances with other University of Idaho departments
