I've seen Hatfields of Colchester band use them (even in Regents Park !) - 
Ideal for outdoor gigs when transportability is an issue and wonderful sound 
quality isn't.   I personally don't like the sound and I wouldn't recommend 
them for an indoor gig where it would be very obvious that they weren't 
"proper" timps.   Having said that, they collapse down and you could 
probably fit 4 in the back of an average estate car.

I don't know the manufacturer but I might be able to find out if you're 
interested.

A couple of years ago Tomorrow's World showed a pair of timps where the
bottom had been cut away making them more transportable; they are about
a foot deep. Now when I was lugging Meltham's Timps around on Sunday 
afternoon
I thought to myself "what's happened about these timps". I've never seen
any advertised let alone any in use.

Does anyone have any experience regarding these drums?
