MAKING DRUMS by Dennis Waring: A good overview of the principles of drum making along with plenty of information for building your own drums. The first part of this full-color book explains the basics of drum bodies, acoustics, creating and attaching drumheads, and the Mali weave. The latter half is devoted to nine specific drum projects: five frame drums (Irish, Middle Eastern, Indian, Latin and primitive), two staved drums, carved drums and clay drums. Even covers unique aspects such as preparing animal hides, lacing patterns for attaching heads to drums, and tuning the finished drum. 96 pp.
