drum making
Does anyone know a good source of drum making materials i.e. hoops and rawhide please. I am guided to make my own drum but live in Ireland so it is difficult to get to workshops etc.
Thanks

What a great idea. :)
Can't you find anything relevant on google? Otherwise, I suppose you could ask a drum manufacturer. Or someone who might have written a guide on making your own drum?

I have searched extensively on Google but most materials come from America and carry huge postage. I will try and contact drum makers to see if they can help. I feel it really does have to be a drum a make myself, be so much easier to buy another ready made one!

Do you know Sacred Hoop magazine? You might find a supplier via them. The website is at:
Also try using HP's Search on 'drum making' ... there are a number of previousthreads, where members have posted re making drums, so may well be able to advise you.
PM me if further help is required.

I saw a hide for sale on ebay recently, sold now but the seller is winkte339 and they can provide hides and frames. I haven't brought from this seller myself so this is information rather than recommendation.

Thanks for all the advice. I have located several sources of kits and now just have to decide what to get or if to hold out for an actual rawhide skin which seems harder to find.
I couldn't access or find the ebay trader but I'll keep a look out.
I'm sure that when I'm ready something will arrive!:p

Thank you for the link to the site in Scotland. I am on holiday at the moment but will get in touch with them when I get back. I mamaged to log on to their site and the skins look perfect.
