The tom-tom is much handier than the drum, especially if one be traveling
about. I have made one or two good tom-toms with a calf-skin on a hoop, but these
are very apt to go soft and lose their tone.
An excellent tom-tom is easily made out of a first-class tambourine. Draw the
pins that hold the jingles, remove the latter, then in their place put a wooden
bead or section of elder, cut the exact right length.
Of course, it is better Woodcraft if the tom-tom be painted symbolic
designs.
