Detachable Mycelium Drumkit

post-image

Millions of drum kits produced yearly end up in landfills, unrecyclable and non-biodegradable. As the materials are difficult to seperate the whole kit ends up in landfill causing environmental destruction. This unsustainable cycle needs to change.


I have designed a mycelium and bamboo drum kit, as a sustainable solution. Designed for disassembly, each component can be individually recycled, ensuring a cradle-to-cradle solution. These eco-friendly materials also reduce costs and benefit the environment, both during manufacturing and at the end of the products life.

A fantastic concept Ben. I had never really considered the scale of the waste created by discarded short term musical interests. So great that you are creating awareness about this. 

What are two or three things that you need assistance with? 

Also check out the Shop tab in UpRising site for possible places to purchase Mycelium. 

Great work

Hey Alex,

I saw that, it looks sick!

i'm mainly just finalising the design now (I had to redo it like 3 weeks ago so i'm a bit behind).

I was wondering if you wanted to chat about our projects? do you have discord?

My name on discord is: treetrunks_

If not I can just send my whatsapp......... hello?

Ben Ben Ben... you have really outdone yourself with this one, beautiful! Once everything is done, hit me up. My fellow friend and music artist 'Summrs' will happily buy hundreds of these + he will overpay, he is very big on sustainability and the environment.
