D R U M S
for early music
The drums are made in the
form of wooden casks. A large number of beech slats are glued together to form
the drum body. The drumheads are made of calfskin, and the bindings are made of
hemp.
I
have not done exact replicas of existing instrument, but have used the
techniques that were available and well known during the medieval/renaissance
periods. My ambition is to create drums which compliment the other instruments
in the renaissance ensemble in respect to both appearance and sound.

These
drums can be tightened and, if necessary, tuned. The tuning interval is about
one forth.
The
tambourines have bells instead of discs, which I find to give a softer sound.
The skin is glued to the frame.
A
drumstick comes with each drum.
