ABSTRACT:
A drum comprising a shell, a pair of skins (12) disposed at opposite ends of the shell, and substantially free floating tensioning assembly (30) to stretch the skins over the respective ends of the shell. The tensioning assembly comprises respective engagement means adapted to grip the periphery of each skin, a stabilizing ring (32) extending around the shell intermediate its ends, and a plurality of adjustable peripherally spaced tensioning elements (35) extending intermediate the respective engagement means and the stabilizing ring. The tensioning assembly is disposed to transfer tension directly between the skins substantially independently of the shell, thereby facilitating tuning and permitting substantially undamped vibration of the shell.
