The Shepherd Drum

This is a Shepherd Drum. It is blue and gold -- they are Shepherd colors. My helper was my neighbor Bill. He gave me spray paint and a fiberglass cylinder. I painted it. My Mom had an old coat that I used for the top. My Mom helped me drill holes and I put strings in the holes for the top.

I hit it hard for loud dynamics and soft for soft dynamics. The tighter I have the head of my drum the higher the pitch will be. The timbre sounds booming.
