ABSTRACT:
A drumhead and a method for construction of a drumhead that can easily be installed and removed from most kinds of instrument shells, particularly congas, and also can be employed with the shell without the usual requirement of a standard rim mounted counter-hoop. The drumhead comprises a multi-laminate drumming surface, an oblique oriented multi-laminate circumferential sidewall integrally formed with and disposed around the periphery of the drumming surface and a reinforced counter-hoop supporting shoulder component abutting the lower section of the sidewall. The annular shoulder, which is formed from a hardened liquid resin material, is reinforced with a ring or hoop-like metal shank, which is introduced into the liquid resin before the liquid cures. An improved method of construction of the drumhead of the present invention comprising generally a method of producing the drumhead from a multi-laminate material, forming the drumhead surface and then shaping the sidewalls in a direction generally oblique relative to the plane of the drumhead surface and using a cured liquid resin to form a reinforced annular shoulder in abutting relation with the sidewall.
