glad to see you backagain.

are you going to show us how tomake these,please????????

would love to see how you[YOU ESPECIALLY] make these..

your didgey playing is great!!!!

I wish I could!  Got to get my video capability back first. I took some photos while I made the drum, but not near enough to show how. If you check out PaleoPlanet (dot net) and look for the musical instrument section, you'll see posts there on how to make these drums. I learned from two of the other members. That redwood one is my first. It came out pretty good! Tom

I love the drumming (and the didge as well tom)

My wife makes fun of me because I have no rhythm! She was a snare drum player in her high school band. The cool thing with the bodhran for me is that the mechanics of using the tipper seem to help me to at least get some sort of a beat going - rhythm challenged as I am!

The first drum is deer or elk rawhide (the little one made out of left-over pieces of my redwood fence). The 2nd drum is a store bought bodhran - tunable with goatskin.

I really like this. Thanks for sharing the pics of your work and your talent in playing them. =)

Tom, you should just build a new digital camera from stones and roots using the one they dug up near Otzi as a general guide. That ought to work with any computer.

And just so that my entire comment isn't nonsense, your new drums certainly play nicely.

[Paleoaleo]

LOL...I wish I could! Save me a lot of money...

[Paleoaleo]

The didge playing is embarrassing!
