My first attempt at a drum. Used a paper mache flower pot from the craft store, leather sheet and thongs from the same store and acrylic paint.
I made it using the same kind of technique used in ancient times, but I think next time I'll find some thinner leather for the drum head as the thicker leather didn't want to stretch as well and it took forever to dry; I think they treated it with something that prevented it from soaking and drying right.
But lesson learned and it actualy does sound nice, if softer then I wanted.
