Octobans for Sale: Why Carbon Steel Octabons Are the Ultimate Drummer's Upgrade
The Quest for the Perfect "Thump"
If you are a drummer, you know that sound.
It’s that distinct, melodic, tubular attack made famous by legends like Stewart Copeland of The Police or Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. It’s the sound of the Octoban instrument—deep, focused, and incredibly fast.
For years, drummers looking to expand their kit with these "tube toms" faced a difficult choice. You either had to spend a small fortune on high-end brands like Tama Octobans or Octobans Pearl, or settle for budget options that sounded thin and flimsy.
But the game has changed. Today, we are introducing a third option that combines professional durability with a price tag that makes sense for the working musician: The Beatello Carbon Steel Octabons.
The Problem with Traditional Octobans
When searching for Octobans for sale, you usually find acrylic or fiberglass shells. While these materials are classic, they have limitations. They can crack under pressure, and sometimes they lack the "bite" needed to cut through a wall of distorted guitars.
Furthermore, many Fame Octobans or other entry-level options on the market cut corners on hardware. There is nothing worse than buying a new set of drums only to find out the stand wobbles every time you hit it.
Enter the Beatello Carbon Steel Series
At Beatello, we decided to take a different approach. We didn't just want to make a copy; we wanted to improve the projection and durability.
Here is why our Beatello Carbon Steel Octabons Drum With Hardware is becoming the go-to choice for drummers:
1. Material Matters: The Power of Carbon Steel
Unlike wood or acrylic, our 4-piece set is forged from high-quality carbon steel.
Unique Sound: This construction provides a distinct, powerful resonance that far surpasses traditional wooden drums.
Projection: The Octoban sound needs to be fast. Our steel shells deliver a sharp attack and a quick, clean decay. Every stroke is packed with energy, ensuring your melodic fills are heard clearly in the back of the venue.
2. Built to Last
Touring is tough on gear. The all-metal build of the Beatello series ensures extreme durability. These drums are designed to withstand the most intense playing, from metal breakdowns to intricate prog-rock patterns.
3. The "Hidden" Cost Saver: A Free Heavy-Duty Rack
Here is the secret most retailers won't tell you: buying Octobans is often just the beginning. You usually have to buy a separate stand, which can cost upwards of $150.
We believe in a "ready-to-play" philosophy. The Beatello set comes with a Free Heavy-Duty Rack System. This isn't a cheap, flimsy stand; it provides rock-solid stability, giving you peace of mind during your most energetic performances.
Octobans vs. Roto Toms: What's the Difference?
A common question we get is about Octobans vs roto toms. Are they the same?
No.
Roto Toms have no shell. They are just a metal frame and a head. The sound is very high-pitched but lacks body and depth.
Octobans (like the Beatello set) feature deep, tubular shells (ours are 10", 12", 14", and 16" deep). This depth creates a column of air that gives the drum "body" and that signature melodic tone.
If you want a toy, buy roto toms. If you want a professional melodic voice for your kit, you need Octobans.
Hear It Yourself
Words can only describe so much. You need to hear the attack of the carbon steel for yourself. Check out the demo video below to hear the Beatello Octobans in action.
