Very cool I need to try this for my kids!

Awesome finish!

Let me know how these sell.

Have you tried a two part epoxy?

always like simple gifts to make for the family…these are pretty cool. So, is there a better spot or size of tuning port that makes it sound better? I use to make balls out of used hockey tape… i would think that using a fabric tape and applying it to a stick might work?!?

-- enjoy your wood...

awesome!
great family activity – to build AND to play!

It’s cool that you and your sound worked together on these. thay look good.

I think I would try “PL – Polyurethane Premium Construction Adhesive” It comes in a yellow, red and black tube. This stuff blows liquid nails away. Aco and the orange big block store sells it at least here in MICHigan.

Very nice. Try “Weldbond glue” it glues just about anything. It’s available at ACE.

-- There is no such thing as scrap wood, only smaller projects.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I’ll check out the glues you all sent, mostly it has to be a good bond but it has to stay pliable so the balls don’t go flying off. I think I will try the fabric tape too. I dipped some of the sticks in that rubber goo glue that you use to put rubber handles on tools, that worked but a completely different sound, not bad just different.

Again thanks all and have a great day

I would have played the heck out of those when I was little. I would drum on everything with pencils and sticks. It was interesting to find out how different material, surfaces and objects made a different sound.
Very good idea. cool drums.

Thanks for the comments, they are loads of fun to play even and the ripe old age of 40 hee hee.
