WELCOME IN THE STUDIO
In this section you can find things that will assist you in your own computer-based musical productions. There's a lot of original Dubroom material which you can use, but also third party material. There's much more than "just" sampled material, as you can find some little pieces of software, presets and other things as well. Everything in this section is, like all stuff in the Dubroom by the way, legal and -a lot of times- absolutely free of charge. Definitely worth a visit, for novice to veteran.

BLAMINACK - HOW TO BUILD A KETE HAND DRUM - PART 9

The next step is to round the bearing edge of the drum so there is a nice rounded corner for the drumhead to rest against. This also makes drumming more comfortable on the hands. I do this with a 3/8” round over bit in my router. If you don’t a router you can do this with a Sander and a lot of work… here is the result.

Notice that the router has burned the wood a bit. This, along with any rough places that the process created, will need to be sanded off. Now I route the inside edge of the bottom of the drum. This is purely for the sake of beauty. It serves no functional purpose, but I think it makes the drum look professionally made.

Here is what that looks like…

Again, any burn marks will need to be sanded down, and the edge will need to be sanded smooth.

JAH
