Because the drum set has been virtually unchanged for so long, the innovative sound of the JUNK HAT easily allows you to expand your sonic horizons.
It may look strange...but
if two bald guys can figure it out, so can you!
When threatened with having to use an electronic pad by our bands, we (Danny & Mike) decided to develop our own instrument as a compromise.
The JUNK HAT mimics that classic '808' hand clap sound and has successfully allowed us to avoid the dreaded rubber pad!
As bald people, we are used to standing out in a crowd, but the JUNK HAT can help you stand out both visually AND musically.
Being unique in this crazy industry is more important than ever! We bald (and the JUNK HAT) can help!

MEET THE BALDMEN
MEET THE BALDMEN
Danny Young (bald) and Mike McKee (bald) met a few years back while touring with their bands and very quickly bonded over their 'hair' AND love for all things drums/percussion. They realized there was a major hole in the acoustic drums and percussion market for instruments that could mimic electronic sounds, so they set out on their quest to develop and create something the drum world had never seen!
Their first creation, The JUNK HAT™, is now making waves across the world offering chain dropping, 808 sounding vibes to all hair types! Since then, they have created several more award winning instruments with a multitude of sounds and uses.
When they aren't putting their bald heads together to invent new instruments, you can find Mike touring with his band Delta Rae and
Danny with Brandy Clark, Ricky Skaggs, Dan Tyminski, Lucie Silvas, and more!

FAQ
GENERAL
Q: What is the JUNK HAT?
A: The JUNK HAT is a chain-dropping, 808-sounding, analog machine that is operated much like a hi hat. It allows you to achieve new sounds in rock, pop, country, hip-hop, Americana, and wherever else your imagination takes you.
Q: What would I use the JUNK HAT for?
A: The JUNK HAT has several sounds but was mostly designed to duplicate programmed snares without having to use an electronic pad. We also designed it to utilize the open/close function on a hi hat stand which drops the chains onto the metal bottom giving you that swampy Americana sound.
Q: Do I need special hardware to use the JUNK HAT?
A: No! The JUNK HAT works on any hi hat or snare stand; including low boys and remote hi hat stands.
Q: Where is the JUNK HAT made?

Q: What is the difference between the JUNK HAT OG and JUNK HAT 2.0?
