ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is of a novel drum, specifically a snare drum which is capable of producing a definite pitch or note. The prior art drums did not produce a definite or definitive pitch. This disclosure is of a drum and the process of assembling it with a seamless shell, the skin being held tautly over the machined bearing surfaces of said shell. The drum may be tuned to other definite pitches by a tuning mechanism between the lugs on the hoop holding the skin firmly against the bearing surface of the shell and tuning lugs attached to the shell. The lugs in the shell holding the tuning means are also made of metal to enhance the tonal response of the seamless shell. The snare bed is enlarged both in width and depth and is a part of a machined bearing surface to also enhance the tonal response of the snare.
