THE BIGFOOT DRUM
* Hand Painted Sasquatch Bigfoot Yeti art
** Like The Design But Would Like a Different Color Scheme? If you would like your drum dyed a different color send me a message and let me know. I will be happy to dye your drum a color of your choice at no extra charge.
** Please Note: Each Drum is hand made individually and no two are identical, as the hides differ in texture and receive the dye and ink colors in a unique way. The pictures shown represent the colors of dyes and inks used to create each Drum. Therefore, the colors are similar but not an exact representation of the color tones of the tambourine you will receive.
How it’s Made
The drum is made with a solid mulberry hardwood frame with a medium thickness goat hide that produces a bold song.
The hide is laminated to the frame for a proven, long lasting reliable mount.
At the back of the frame the padded handle is built on the cross buttress of two thick buffalo rawhide straps.
This produces a comfortable, stable hand hold.
I use hand rubbed leather dyes on the hide with a finish coat of matte sealer to ensure durability.
The artwork is hand applied using acrylic inks that serve to better penetrate the hide for extra durability.
The beater is included and is constructed from solid birch and maple hardwood, and then dyed and protected with
a urethane finish. The wooden ball head is wrapped with cotton batting and then wrapped with thick felt.
