Meanwhile my drum is made. Together with the detailed information provided it was a good experience to make my own drum. The quality of the material is good and looks very well. One can feel the spirit of the material. The rattle is right now a work in progress, but also here the rattle kit is a good tool to make one on your own. I would recommend “Cedar Mountain Drums” when I would be asked for drums.
