This drone was my spare drone and I flew it once. It's been a couple years since I've flown it and has been in storage. Turning the motor bell seemed to fix it and I'm going to do a test flight to know for sure.
Yes that's a great name for it. I searched "gimbal drummer" and found a thread where twisting the back of the gimbal on the motor would realign magnets. I'm gonna give that a try.
I have a lightly used 3DR solo drone which came with the backpack and gimbal when new. Everything has been stored with the drone upright in a climate controlled room. I'm selling because I don't fly it enough.

I have 3 listings on eBay available for auction.
The first is a 3DR solo backpack bundle w/ the drone, controller, 1 lightly used battery, 8 new props, tall feet, gimbal, and more. The drone was flown once to test. I purchased this bundle from best buy as a spare drone.

3DR sent me:
"Thanks for your patience. We have reviewed the whole case scenario and found that the issue was caused by a motor pod that stopped responding properly.
After checking the time and place...
I'm attempting to upload the video now so you guys can see. The motors kept going until impact, which is weird because it just fell straight down. I rotated left and it just nose dived a couple hundred feet in the air. I want to upload logs but I'm not sure how to yet.
Got it up on youtube.
