This review is from: Making Drums (Paperback)
Since I am making my first drum, I needed a reference guide and this book is a great starting point. There are a lot of tips and instructions, and I was able to get many ideas for customizing my own drum. The photos are very helpful and plentiful, and it has easy to read instructions. I found it to be exactly what I needed and am now in the process of making my drum.

This review is from: Making Drums (Paperback)
This book is very clear and easy to follow. Pictures included are better than most books I could find. I have used methods in here to make several drums and have not been disappointed.

Probably Not The Only Book You'll Want,

This review is from: Making Drums (Paperback)
First - I like this book.
Having built some percussion instruments, I found the information in "Making Drums" to be enlightening for a beginner about to make his or her very first instrument. It won't really tell them HOW to make their first drum, but it'll spark their curiosity, and define the myriad drum types from across the globe. Second - If you think you're going to open this book at your workbench and make a drum, step-by-step, look elsewhere. The author has done a lot of research, but seems to know more about drum construction, than constructing a drum. The photography and illustrations in the book are excellent. The background information on different types of instruments is interesting, and the technical information provides a good understanding of acoustics. Great book in the hands of a hopeful drum building enthusiast.
