ABSTRACT:
A percussion instrument, comprising a plurality of wood blocks or staves interlocked to each other through tongue and groove joints, such that the interlocked blocks form a solid surface having the shape of a cylinder with two open ends. A drum head is in contact with one of the open ends of the body, and suitable fixing means, coupled to said head, retain the head under pressure against one of the ends. Preferably, the tongue and groove joints are defined by grooves in the blocks or staves with a spline member disposed in each groove.
