Super tall - 36
Super tall - 36" Ashiko drum with tight cowhide. Super cool boomy sound and a big bass!
First drum I ever built, probably 20+ years ago. Hand carved from a pine tree that was hit by lightning and fell on powerlines. The power company came out and cut it into sections... I grabbed a few chuncks and this is the only one that made it to drum form. I worked on it on and off for about a year before I finally headed it. I love reconnecting with this little drum when I visit my parents farm!

Repairing a separated stave on old gon bops conga. Ive spread it open enough to get a razorblade in there and clean out the old glue before I epoxy the crack. In two days it will be fully cured and ready to throw on the lathe to sand it all back smooth- repair some minor cracks, and refinish the drum.
