Dedicated to research, study and comparisons of old field drums.

Photographs of drums, and anything related, together with educational and informative narratives, are welcome. If it's on the web, it should be here. Interested readers will find archived postings a good resource. Bookmark the blog URL for easy return.

Prof. Sounds' Drum Tuning Bible

If you haven't seen this yet, you're in for a treat. J. Scott Johnson of Indianapolis (aka Professor Sound) has assembled a major collection of information about everything that affects the sound of a drum: wood type, construction, tuning and seating, head type, drum size, bearing edges, shell interior -- more information than most may have though possible. And it's all available at his website Prof.Sound's Drum Tuning Bible v3. Check it out.

Labels: sound; wood type; construction; tuning; seating; head type; size; bearing edges; shell interior

The drums on these pages were here long before we arrived and, with care, should be around long after we've departed. We have the privilege of taking care of them for a short period. As such, we are self-appointed caretakers of a small slice of our country's rich heritage. By sharing knowledge and information, we will all be better suited to discharge our responsibilities with skill and good judgment. Ellis R. Mirsky, Blogmaster@FieldDrums.com
