ABSTRACT:
A drum construction is provided with a bottom ring having a plurality of projections extending outwardly therefrom at equally spaced locations about the circumference thereof for supporting tubes of proper length according the drum shell depth. The tubes have internal threads on both ends which accept the tension screws for connecting the top and bottom hoops to the ring. A drum shell is clamped between the bottom ring and the top hoop and is completely free of holes and does not have any hardware attached thereto thereby providing only a minimum dampening effect. The shell is located concentrically on the upper surface of the bottom ring by means of shaped washers which are held in place by lock nuts on the tube ends. Auxiliary support brackets may be clamped to adjacent tubes in spaced relation to the shell so as not to adversely affect the tonal characteristics of the shell.
