  • Field Drum Blog Resource

    An interesting Blog site dedicated to field drums with some great images...

    “Build it and they will drum.” Dedicated to research, study and comparisons of field drums. Our purpose is to collect information about historical U.S. drums (manufacture, preservation, conservancy, repair, market) for use by scholars, collectors and others. Photographs of drums, and anything related, together with informative narratives, are welcome. Interested readers will find archived postings a good resource. Reach us at emirsky@gmail.com.

      Re: Field Drum Blog Resource

      Sir, thanks for bringing this site to the mess, I have an old wood 14"wide by 10" deep drum shell with hoops and skins but with no tension cord or tugs. It is not cw era but with some refurbishing maybe could learn some "field musician" cadences for tactical movements, thanks again.
