Dear Duchess and others...

I posted last year about a way to make the drums using sonotubes (contractors 
use them..ask for throwaways)  They are a VERY sturdy paper used for concrete 
columns and come in different dimensions.  They are easy to cut on a saw, and 
easy to paint.  I actually wet the goatskins and then STAPLE them to the 
cardboard with a power stapler.  Then I cover the staples with cord wrapped 
around the head.  They are incredible sounding!  I have made these for several 
years for an African heritage dance grant but they are just as easily medieval 
depending on how you embellish them.  Just thought I would throw those ideas out 
there for the group to chew on for awhile!

Well, frankly, neither do I!

We are making them... isn't that what the SCA does? <G>

I have pickle buckets, and blue plastic barrels. I've cut the tops off, and am 
using different sizes of barrel to make different pitch drums. Get a goatskin 
from Tandy (see previous post) and some rawhide string.Cut the skin a little 
bigger then the head circumference. Poke holes regularly around it. Wet it down, 
tighten the strings evenly around it, and wait for it to dry.

I'll paint them and decorate them to hide their pickle-bucketness and 
barrel-ness <G>.

DRUM!!

My computer-challenged self is going to try to get up a Yahoo group for this. 
LOL

I'll let you know if I do it right!
