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!

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.
