We've got one for auction for Christmas charity. This drum has the magical property of even making the pipers like it in the session. And its prettier than a banjo.
I just checked it out.
I note with interest that it's good for that modern "double sticking" method of playing. Perhaps BODHRANBOY might be interested in putting in a bid, although I believe he has recently bought a special Drum which is realy DEEP, so deep it has a cut-away in the side to enable access to the skin for all that doo-whop stuff. Still He's an awesome player though but.
It,s actually a very nice looking drum, I wouldn't mind trying one out. Anyone play one? what are they like? I have noticed on this drum and on other drums I have seen, that there is black insulating tape near and sometimes round onto the rim. More than just for looks I take it.

Very pretty. I might buy it and try out the Tuesday night session in Sandy Bells.
