Drum in natural habitatThe drum project has a life of its own.  Being used as an actual drum.  Here it is with some friends before being put to work.

About the rolling ball sculpture project….

I’m ready to purchase wood!  I did a couple of mock ups, and think it’s time for the official design.

The drum project

November 4, 2008

While I wait for the coffee to kick in, and the lines at the polls to go down, I can blog.

This summer my husband and I decided to build a drum for him. We took an oversized floor tom (or maybe it’s a small bass drum on it’s side) and made it into our version of a cocktail kit. He did all the research and ordered all the parts, I helped measure and drill the holes, and then the staining.  He spent time while I played with stain adapting the new bass drum pedal.  He had to change it to hit the bottom side of the new drum.
