I have been spending a few hours every Saturday afternoon at Via Via making a drum with Fred, a drum-maker and drum teacher who works there. I am waiting for a few pictures still, but these will give you an idea of the process by which a log becomes a drum. The final stage after the last picture you see here was to put on the skin and stretch it tight. After that was finished I got to have a drum lesson with Fred where I learned a few new beat patterns, then I took the drum home and it is now ready to play. More pictures soon!
