  • Musical drum construction
    Patent number: 4356757
    Abstract: The new musical drum construction is disclosed which comprises a cylindrical sleeve disposed coaxially within a drum shell such that there is a small space between the outer edge of the sleeve and the inner edge of the drum shell. The sleeve is secured in place by rings at each end which extend between the edge of the sleeve and the edge of the drum shell. The drum heads are attached only to the shell, permitting the sleeve to resonate with the heads. This has been found to produce a distinctly clearer, more solid sound than other drums.
