Thank you & thanks for watching!

This is such an awesome video! I love watching how others work on the drummaking craft! I love making and selling my drums at community gatherings. I even taught a couple classes myself. That being said i can never learn enough

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Thanks for watching! Would agree we learn something new each day!

[@clairecoghlan9200]

Thank you so much. I have a Native American hand drum that has gone flat. Thanks to this my husband and I can see a way to return it to a good sound. I watched others which were not much help at all. This is just great.

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Het thanks for watching! So glad the video was helpful!!

[@mrtoe599]

Just put your flat drum over a fire. Goes back to normal.

[@fyrefalcyn]

GREAT INSTRUCTIONS! Thank you. My drum is nice and taut, and already has a voice even though we just wrapped it. I am excited about hearing it's sound after it dries!

Hey man, those bird symbols on your shirt, I've see that spirit figure in the astral realm twice. I always have a crazy out of body experience when I see it.

Very helpful video. I have a 24” double sided drum whose frame was made using 16 mitered segments of rounded softwood.
I relocated from the Midwest to Arizona and gave it no thought. One night I heard a sound like a rifle shot as one of the laces gave way. Within a month enough laces broke to break out two mitered segments!
I would like to reuse the heads to make a pair of smaller hand drums. My question is whether or not these heads will, after soaking, react in the same way an un-stretched hide would? Any experience reusing a previously stretched hide you could share?
Thanks for the video.

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Thanks for watching! There is a good chance they will work on a smaller drum, but may not if it is the same size.

[@anniecorbin7998]

Thank you. I wonder what kind of wood you are using. I have a 200 year old silver maple on my ground. She has been a big part of my and my granddaughters lives. She lost a huge hollow branch this winter. If I can smooth a slice of it inside and out, do you think it would be strong enough? Give us good sound? Is there a traditional wood that is used?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

The round hand drums are typically made with maple frames. Using the branch would be a fun project and I can't see why it wouldn't sound good. Thanks for watching!

[@johnmeyer9923]

Chris, great video. You mention the kit, but your site only has a 9" drum kit. Are you planning a 13" kit? If not, how many feet of Rawhide lacing for a 13" drum?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Hello, We are not planning a 13" kit sorry. You would need 16 feet of lace to make a 13" drum.

[@Jason_Megibow]

great video, thank you! Where can I find rawhide lace?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Thanks for watching! You can buy rawhide lace on our site here is the link. wanderingbull.com/shop/craft-supplies/leather/rawhide-lacing/

[@michelledussault7532]

Thank you for the demonstrtion. Do you sell horse, buffalo or elk lacing? How much lacing do I need for a 15 inch drum?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Our lacing is cow. We use 25 feet of lace for a 15" drum , thanks for watching.

[@scrimshawrose3236]

excellent video! Do you use warm water or cold water to start the soak? Do you need to put any chemical into the soak? Just watching this makes me want to make one, I love your videos :)

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Thanks for watching! We suggest soaking it in hot water. No need for any chemicals.

[@djprophetinterview]

Thanks for showing. Just wondering. How are the holes punched?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

While the raw hide is wet use a hole punch. Thanks for watching!

[@NelsonLoe]

Do you ever use birch for drum hoops?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

I have not used birch hoops. Thanks for watching.

[@philhewett1601]

Some of my drums have a vibration that sound like something vibrating on the dashboard of my truck. What's up with that?

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Hello Phil, Could be a few things, crack in the frame, tension on hide it too loose. Is the frame deep could be that or maybe the kind of hide that was used. Thanks for watching our video's!

[@philhewett1601]

@@thewanderingbull9843 Thanx so much for thew quick reply. The frame is brand new...20 segments glued (over glued with lots of squeeze out) and sanded to circle. This frame is 2 and a half inches deep and others just 2 inches deep. Buffalo hide drum head. So it goes, in the fullness of time all things are revealed, again, thank you for your input, it's much appreciated.

[@patrickguerin6158]

My drum skin got loosened, i get some parasites vibrations, may i redo the process? Wet in for 2 day and restart from scratch? 🙏

[@thewanderingbull9843]

Hello, You could restart from scratch or try to just dry the drum out.
